                        roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

1

box red velvet cake mix

2/3

cup melted unsalted butter

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8-inch square pan with baking spray with flour.

Bake 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven; cool 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat cake mix, melted butter and eggs with whisk until well combined.

Spread cake batter evenly over partially baked crust. Return to oven; bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.
