Equipment

9x13" baking pan
Large Mixing Bowl
Rubber spatula
Nonstick Cooking Spray
Stand mixer or electric hand mixer

Ingredients

1 box Yellow Cake Mix 13.25 ounces
2 Large Eggs
1/2 Cup Oil
1/3 Cup Water
3/4 Cup Chocolate Chips Plus extra for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and coat a 9x13 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Add all ingredients except chocolate chips to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix until no big lumps remain.
Fold in 3/4 cup chocolate chips with a spatula, then scoop the batter into your prepared pan and spread to fill the pan evenly.
Sprinkle a extra chocolate chips on top and bake for 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean. You don't want them to be 100% finished as they will continue to cook once pulled out of the oven.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookie bars rest in the pan for 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use a 9-inch pan for thicker bars; bake at 325°F a few minutes longer and test with a toothpick.
Add extra chocolate chips on top instead of mixing in to help bars hold together.
Let bars cool completely before slicing so they set properly.
Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3–5 days.
