Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different flavor of cake mix? Yes, you can use any flavor of cake mix you prefer. Funfetti cake mix adds a festive touch with its colorful sprinkles, but other flavors will work just as well. (I used regular vanilla cake mix since I did nt have funfetti on hand!)
How do I know when the cookie bars are done? The cookie bars are done when the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Can I make these cookie bars vegan? Yes, you can substitute the eggs with a flaxseed meal and water mixture (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water per egg) and use a plant-based oil.
Can I add frosting to these cookie bars? Absolutely! A simple vanilla or cream cheese frosting would be delicious on top of these cookie bars.
