Texas Sheet Cake Cookies

Satisfy your chocolate cravings with these easy Texas sheet cake cookies. They’re richly flavored, soft, sweet, and totally irresistible.

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

¾ Cup salted butter 1½ Sticks, at room temperature

1 Box chocolate cake mix 15-Ounce box

2 eggs

For the Frosting:

1 ½ Cups powdered sugar

¼ Cup unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ Cup whole milk

1 Teaspoon vanilla extract

1 Cup pecans chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and cake mix, using an electric hand mixer to whisk the ingredients together until homogenous.

Add the eggs and whisk again until the eggs are incorporated with the rest of the cookie dough.

Now cover your cookie dough with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Use a cookie scoop to drop balls of dough onto a cookie sheet, leaving about 1 ½ inches between each cookie.

Bake them for 11 minutes

While the cookies are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, whole milk, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them onto a wire cooling rack.

Top each cookie with a spoonful of the chocolate frosting and then sprinkle over the chopped pecans.

Notes

Use a hand mixer: Although you don’t have to use an electric mixer to make the cake cookies dough, I recommend doing so because it’s the best way to achieve a smooth, lump-free dough.Chill the cookie dough: Don’t skip chilling the cookie dough! Chilling the dough is going to prevent your cookies from spreading too much in the oven.Prepare for freezing: If you’re planning to freeze some, make sure the rich chocolate icing on top is completely set before you do so. This way it will hold its shape.
