Kitchen Tools Needed For Loaded Cake Mix Cookie Bars:
A Few Quick Tips:
The batter for these cake mix cookie bars will be quite thick and a little tricky to spread, so I highly recommend using a rubber spatula for easy spreading.
I also like using my hands to really smooth it out in the baking dish, and a little trick is to slightly dampen your hands to do this.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container or ziplock bag to keep these bars fresh for days. I actually prefer these the next day, as all the flavors taste better.
