TEXAS SHEET CAKE COOKIES
I am aware that I have already posted a chocolate recipe this week. I am also aware that there can NEVER be enough chocolate recipes, cookie recipes and more importantly…easy recipes.
If you have never been fortunate enough to have a piece of Texas Sheet Cake, than I am truly sorry. I ate my first piece as an adult and I am serious when I tell you this…I feel like my childhood was incomplete without it.

Ingredients
Cookie
1 box chocolate cake mix
2 eggs {whisked}
1/3 cup oil
Frosting
1/2 cup butter
2 tbsp cocoa
3 tbsp milk
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine cookie ingredients in large bowl and mix until completely incorporated. NOTE: Dough will be thick.
Using a medium sized cookie scoop {or heaping tablespoon}, scoop cookies onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 7-8 minutes, remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheet for 4-5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Repeat until all of the dough is baked.
Frosting
Combine the first 3 frosting ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat and whisk until the mixture has melted. Remove from heat, add powdered sugar and whisk until smooth.
Pour frosting over cookies. Use a knife or spoon to move excess frosting and be sure that each cookie is completely covered.
Let frosting set and serve. Keep cookies in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
