How to Make Texas Sheet Cake Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees f and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Next, add in the egg and vanilla until they are well combined.
Mix in the baking powder and salt and mix again.
Add in the flour and mix until incorporated.
In a microwave-safe bowl heat the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each until smooth.
Mix the melted chocolate into the dough and stir until evenly combined.
Drop the dough by the tablespoons onto your prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 7-8 minutes or until the cookies are just set.
Let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile prepare the icing by heating the butter, cocoa powder, and milk in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Whisk together until melted.
Once everything is melted and combined, remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar.
Spoon the warm icing over the top of the cookies.
When the cookies have cooled completely and the icing has set, serve. Enjoy!
How long are Texas sheet cake cookies good for?
You can store these cookies in an airtight container in the fridge or at room temperature for up to 4 days. I recommend using a piece or parchment or wax paper between cookie layers if needed, to help prevent the icing from sticking to other cookies.
Can I freeze frosted chocolate cookies?
Yes these cookies can be placed into an airtight container and frozen for up to 3 months. If layering them within a container add a piece or parchment paper or wax paper between cookie layers so that the icing doesn’t stick to other cookies within the container. This makes it more convenient to grab and go when you want a treat.
