Introduction
If you need a dessert that hits all the right notes—super‑easy, satisfying and disappear‑fast—these lazy chocolate chip cookie bars are your answer. They use a boxed cake mix, melted butter and chocolate chips to deliver that rich, cookie‑bar flavor with minimal effort. I made them one evening when I needed something quick, and they disappeared faster than homemade cookies ever had.
Why You’ll Love This Dessert
Minimal ingredients, maximum flavor
With just a cake mix, butter, eggs (or in some versions the base of eggs) and chocolate chips, these bars come together in record time and still taste amazing. The dense, chewy‑bar texture gives you cookie flavor in sheet‑pan form. The Country Cook+1
Sheet‑pan format makes serving easy
Because this recipe is baked in a 9×13‑inch dish, you can cut into bars and serve a crowd without portioning individual cookies. It’s ideal for potlucks, family trays or anytime you want “dessert ready” fast.
