Big Cookie Cake

This is for people who want my recipie for a big cookie-cake.  I often do this cookie-cake for birthdays, but also for a quick dessert when I don't have time to do much else.

Ingredients:
1 yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup cooking oil
1tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips.

Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix the cake mix together with the eggs, oil, and vanilla.

Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.

Press the mixture out onto a greased pizza pan or jelly roll pan.  (The recipie is really flexible on what size.)

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes.  (The original recipie that I found online said bake for 20-25 minutes, but most of the ovens I've worked with have taken 13-17 minutes.)

Note: You can use any combination of cake mix and add-ins you'd like.  Chocolate cake mix and peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips.  Add nuts or coconut.  Make what you like.  We like the simple yellow cake mix and chocolate chips.

Note 2: Each brand of cake mix works a bit differently.  I typically stay with one brand so I know what it is going to do and how much it is going to fill the pan.
