Texas Sheet Cake Cookies
Description
This recipe combines a boxed chocolate cake mix with eggs and canola oil to form a cookie dough. Spoonfuls of dough are spaced on parchment-lined sheets and baked at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. After cooling slightly on the sheets, the cookies are transferred to a wire rack.
The icing is prepared by melting butter, cocoa powder, and milk together, then whisking in powdered sugar off the heat until smooth. This warm icing is poured over the cookies while still wet, and each cookie is topped with a pecan half to add a crunchy texture contrast and a nutty accent.
The result is a cookie that maintains moistness due to the cake mix base, enhanced with a rich chocolate glaze. They can be enjoyed as a treat anytime. The recipe note states nutritional info is approximate and can vary based on ingredient brands and serving size.
