Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) red velvet cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional mix-in)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the entire box of red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix with a spoon or electric mixer on low speed until just combined into a thick dough. Do not overmix.
- If using, gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The edges should look set, and a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached for a fudgy red velvet squares texture.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute melted butter for the vegetable oil.
- If you want a simple glaze, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons milk and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, then drizzle over the cooled bars.
- These no chill cookie bars are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days.
