Cookies & Cream Cake Mix Cookie Bars

By Courtney 22 Comments

Cookies & Cream Cake Mix Cookie Bars are SO incredibly addicting…you’ll be in trouble if you don’t plan to share them with someone!

Where did the day go? After getting home from Hot Yoga, Jay and I had plans to go run some errands that we’ve been trying to take care of all weekend, but kept putting off. However, when it came down to it, both of us decided that the errands could wait yet again, and we ended up being lazy bums for most of the evening. ;) We rented & watched Shutter Island which was a pretty interesting movie. I must say though, I did not like the ending. I hate it when they leave you guessing and in suspense! Grrrrr. :shock:

Dinner

My appetite was a little off for some reason tonight(?), so I kept dinner easy and light with a simple sandwich.

A slice of multigrain bread, spread with some The Laughing Cow Light Swiss Cheese, fresh basil, tomato, and leftover zucchini slices from last nights’ dinner.

On the side, I also cut up the rest of the tomato I had, along with the rest of the zucchini. I ended up just eating that right out of the container as I was making my sandwich…it tasted so good. :)

As promised, I owe you guys a recipe for these babies that I did a little teasing with yesterday…mwaaahahaha. ;)

IMG_3786

And remember…don’t say I didn’t warn you: They are extremely dangerous and delicious.

Using a cake mix as the base of the “cookie bar” mix, these are a quick, easy dessert that would be perfect for bringing to a party (or a softball game) to share with a bunch of other people. This is not a recipe you want sitting in your house; otherwise, you’ll regret eating the entire pan. (At least that’s what I’m guessing would have happened in this house between the hubby and I.)

First thing you need to do is pick your poison (aka, your cake mix flavor and your add-ins):

Next, you mix together your butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Then add in an egg, and hope that it makes a pretty looking flower design like mine did. ;)

IMG_3774

Add in your cake mix, and make sure everyone gets nice and acquainted.

Next, add your mix-ins. For me, crushed Oreos was the name of the game.

And then, since I figured I was feeding a hungry softball team of grown boys men, why not add in some more chocolate?

IMG_3780

After baking them in the oven, and giving them a generous helping of Oreo Buttercream frosting (which is my basic vanilla buttercream frosting + more crushed Oreos), these babies were ready to go!

IMG_3783

Oh yeah, that missing piece…ummm…not really sure what happened there? Must have been the cookie monster? ;)

IMG_3781

The team (and my favorite fans) all agreed that they were quite delicious! So maybe it’s something you might want to make for your next par-tay? Hey, maybe you can even try to figure out a way to health-ify it. If you do, be sure to let me know! :)

    i loved the ending! haha. i hate suspense too but i like being left questioning if he's crazy or not when he says ' is it better to live as a monster, or die as a good man." your baked goods recipes are so mouthwatering! not sure if i could make them for myself but i know they'd be hits at parties

    I think the only way these could ever be made is if they were for a party..far too dangerous to keep in my house that's for sure.

    Courtney these Oreo bars are DIVINE! I did make a couple changes though--in the batter, I cut the butter from 1/2 cup to 1/4 cup and the brown sugar from 1/2 cup to 1/4 cup and they turned out GREAT! I also used Reduced Fat Oreos to try and cut down the fat a teeny tiny bit. Honestly, everyone raved about these bars. Thank you so much for the great recipe!
