Texas Sheet Cake Cookies

A great chocolate cookie covered in dark chocolate.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter softened
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted

For the icing

  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoon milk
  • 2½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a stand mixer, beat together butter and sugar until smooth.
  • Add egg and vanilla and continue to mix on low.
  • Add baking powder and salt.
  • Add flour in batches. Dough will be thick.
  • Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and cook for 30 seconds. Keep melting in increments until melted - stir in between each heating.
  • Stir melted chocolate straight into the cookie dough.
  • Chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes allowing the dough to set.
  • Scoop the dough using an ice cream scoop and place onto a Silpat-lined baking tray.
  • Bake 5-7 minutes, until tops of cookies are just set. Err on the less bake side - do not overbake these! They will still be soft when they come out of the oven.
  • Wait a few minutes before transferring to a wax-paper lined baking sheet.
  • Arrange cookies so that they are almost touching each other.

Icing

  • Heat one stick butter, cocoa powder, and milk in a saucepan on medium heat.
  • Whisk together until smooth.
  • Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar. Stir well.
  • Just pour the icing over the top of the cookies. There will be too much icing but go ahead and use it.
  • Allow icing to set. Feel free to put in the fridge to help set.
  • Serve and enjoy!
