TEXAS SHEET CAKE COOKIES
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}.
Moist chocolate cookies {make with a cake mix} and covered in a cooked chocolate frosting.
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
- 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.
Recipe Notes
Add chopped pecans to the tops of cookies while the frosting isn't completely set for added taste and texture.
