Notes

What other cake mix combinations can you use for these cookie bars?

Red velvet with white chocolate chips, lemon with white chocolate chips, Devil’s food with chocolate chips (mini peanut butter cups would be good too!), chocolate cake with peanut butter chips—the possibilities are endless!

Can you make cake mix cookie bars with oil?

We’ve made cake mix cookies (and bars) with both oil and butter. I prefer butter, but oil works too!
