Holiday Cake Mix Cookie Bars

Ingredients:

• 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (red velvet, white, or spice work great for holidays)

• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter for richer flavor)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup mix-ins (choose any combo: chocolate chips, crushed candy canes, chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or white chocolate chips)

• Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

2. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.

3. Add mix-ins: Fold in your choice of mix-ins (chocolate chips, candy canes, nuts, etc.).

4. Spread batter: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

5. Bake: for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).

6. Cool & serve: Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
