Chocolate Texas Sheet Cake Cookies by Budget101

Ingredients

• Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix together the cake mix, eggs, and oil in a large bowl until smooth. To add pecans to the batter, stir them in by hand.
• Using a cookie dough scoop or spoons, scoop out dough balls, placing them onto the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart from each other.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring cookies to a wire cooling rack.
• Combine the butter, cocoa powder and whole milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Whisk the ingredients together until combined and smooth.
• Once smooth, remove from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar about 1/4 at time.
• Place the cooling rack of cookies onto a baking sheet to catch excess chocolate just prior to frosting with the warm icing.
• Pour a generous spoonful of icing over each cookie. Top with additional chopped pecans, if desired.
• Allow the icing to harden before enjoying.
