I found an old newspaper clipping of this recipe lurking in the back of my recipe notebook. Long before we had the internet and Pinterest to help us find new and exciting recipes, we would clip delicious recipes from newspaper columns and magazines. And then we would promptly stuff them into recipe binders and boxes – sometimes never to be seen again. Yea, pretty much the way my Pinterest board works now. 🙂

But the minute I saw it again, I knew that this recipe would be perfect for solar cooking. It is easy to make and easy to bake.

I baked my cookies in the Solavore Sport solar oven. To learn more about the Solavore Sport, read

The day started out hot, bright, and sunny, but then the clouds started rolling in and out, so it took my cookies longer to bake than I had expected. The time it takes to bake in a solar cooker is dependent on several factors, including the weather. To learn more about how long it takes to bake in a solar oven, see

Ingredients

• 1 box yellow or white cake mix

• 1½ - 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Pre-heat the solar oven while mixing up the ingredients.
2. In a mixing bowl, add the cake mix, the 2 beaten eggs, and the melted butter. Mix well. The mixture will be thick and gooey.
3. Add the chocolate chips and mix well.
4. Spread into the mixture into a 9"x13" solar safe baking pan sprayed with cooking spray. Make sure the pan fits into your solar oven.
5. Place into the pre-heated solar oven.

Notes

Variations: Add ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans. Use a different flavor cake mix and different flavored chips.

Notes: The time it takes to bake will depend on several factors, including the type of oven being used and the weather. My bars baked for 2 hours at a temperature that varied between 225F (107C) and 300F(149C) depending on the clouds that day.
