Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 1 15.25oz. box chocolate cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup oil
Icing:
- 2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 Tbsp. milk
- 2 cups confectioners sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, two large eggs, and 1/3 cup of oil. Mix thoroughly until the batter becomes smooth and well blended.
- Shape Cookies: Using a spoon, roll heaping tablespoons of the dough into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 8 minutes or until they are set but still soft. Avoid overbaking to maintain moist texture.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before icing.
- Make the Icing: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, and milk together, whisking until smooth and combined.
- Add Sugar to Icing: Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually whisk in the confectioners sugar until the icing is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Ice the Cookies: Place a baking sheet under the wire cooling rack holding the cooled cookies to catch drips. Spoon the chocolate buttercream icing generously over each cookie.
- Set the Icing: Allow the icing to set at room temperature before serving or storing the cookies to ensure a perfect finish.
- Enjoy: Serve and enjoy these rich, chocolatey Texas Sheet Cake Cookies with Chocolate Buttercream icing!
Notes
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a slight variation.
- Ensure cookies are completely cooled before icing to prevent melting the buttercream.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- For a richer flavor, use Dutch-process cocoa powder in the icing if available.
- Adjust the icing consistency by adding a little more milk if too thick, or more confectioners sugar if too thin.
