Cake Batter Cookie Bars

funfetti

Who doesn’t love funfetti?! You can use it to celebrate your birthday or any day! I’ve had a boxed mix sitting around in my cupboard, but wasn’t in the mood for making an entire cake. Instead, I used it to make these cookie bars. They were delicious! It had the funfetti flavor, but the consistency of a buttery, chewy cookie. And how can you resist this batter? Let’s just say not all of it ended up in the pan…
