Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookie Squares

It’s time for this month’s Pinterest Challenge hosted by Erlene from My Pinterventures. This is always a fun blog hop with tons of great ideas and loads of creativity shared! It’s great to find a pin and give it your own spin. 

When I saw this pin for Lazy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars from Smart School House, I knew I wanted to give them a try. 

When a recipe only calls for four ingredients, it gets my attention! A cake mix, eggs, butter, and chocolate morsels are all that’s needed to make these chocolate chip cookie squares.

After melting the butter, all of the ingredients are mixed together in one bowl. That’s great for clean up! The dough is pressed into a baking pan. The original recipe didn’t specify what size pan. I used a 9×9″ pan. When I make these again, I’ll use a larger baking pan. These turned out a little too thick. 

After baking, I decided to top the cookie with frosting. If I had wanted to spend more time on these I would have use the cream cheese frosting that I use for lots of my cakes. Since I was going for quick and easy, I opted for ready made cream cheese frosting. 

Since that frosting is very sweet, I just coated the top with a thin layer of frosting. 

I also used a vanilla cake mix instead of the yellow cake mix in the original recipe. While these were thicker than the recipe that inspired them, they were tasty. Using a larger pan will give more of cookie bar thickness than these had. The smaller pan makes them more cake like. 

We liked these well enough to try again, but as I mentioned, I would use a larger pan to have thinner squares. They are definitely quick and easy!
