Notes
How to Store Leftover Cake Mix Cookie Bars
Store any leftovers in an airtight container or ziplock bag at room temperature for up to 1 week.
I actually prefer these the next day, as all the flavors taste better, and they’re perfectly soft and chewy.
How to Freeze Cake Mix Cookie Bars
To freeze baked cookie bars – After you have baked and cooled your bars, place in a freezer safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw out on the counter
To freeze unbaked cookie bars – Prepare your batter as directed and place your covered casserole dish straight in the freezer. Once ready to bake, place the cookie bars in your preheated oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until fully baked.
