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.

The first time grandma Pearl made it for a family gathering, I was hooked but who wouldn’t be?  Texas Sheet Cakes are a thin and super moist chocolate cake that are coated with a homemade and decadent cooked chocolate frosting.  There isn’t any evidence to confirm that this cake actually originated in Texas but we will go with tradition {although Oregon Sheet Cake Cookies has a good ring to it}.

Today I have taken this cake and turned it into my favorite food group…COOKIES!!  I have also made life simple and used a cake mix for the cookie base.  Using a cake mix to make cookies is a really great time saving tip because they take minimal ingredients and the cookies {when baked correctly} are phenomenal.

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
Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine cookie ingredients in large bowl and mix until completely incorporated.  NOTE:  Dough will be thick.
3. Using a medium sized cookie scoop {or heaping tablespoon}, scoop cookies onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
4. 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

1. 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.
