Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/3 cup oil

Icing

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix together cake mix, eggs, and oil.
  • Stir until well combined. The batter will be thick.
  • Using a cookie scoop, place a scoop of dough on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Space at least 2" apart.
  • Place in oven and bake 7 1/2 to 8 minutes. NO LONGER!!
  • Let cool on a pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely before icing.

Icing:

  • While cookies are cooling, whisk butter, cocoa, and milk together in a saucepan over medium heat until melted and mixed together.
  • Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar.
  • Spoon icing over the top of each cookie.
  • Your consistency will be thick but should be pourable or spoonable. TIP: If your icing is too thick, stir in one teaspoon of milk at a time until you get your desired consistency.
  • Let cookies sit for a few minutes for the icing to set on the cookie. You can eat immediately or allow icing to set up on the cookie for 3-4 hours.
  • Store in an air tight container on the counter for several days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
