TEXAS SHEET CAKE COOKIES

I am aware that I have already posted a chocolate recipe this week.  I am also aware that there can NEVER be enough chocolate recipes, cookie recipes and more importantly…easy recipes.  If you have never been fortunate enough to have a piece of Texas Sheet Cake, than I am truly sorry.  I ate my first piece as an adult and I am serious when I tell you this…I feel like my childhood was incomplete without it.

The first time grandma Pearl made it for a family gathering, I was hooked but who wouldn’t be?  Texas Sheet Cakes are a thin and super moist chocolate cake that are coated with a homemade and decadent cooked chocolate frosting.  There isn’t any evidence to confirm that this cake actually originated in Texas but we will go with tradition {although Oregon Sheet Cake Cookies has a good ring to it}.

Today I have taken this concept and turned it into my favorite food group…COOKIES!!  I have also made life simple and used a cake mix for the cookie base.  Using a cake mix to make cookies is a really great time saving tip because they take minimal ingredients and the cookies {when baked correctly} are phenomenal {be sure to check out my Red Velvet Kiss Cookies and Red Velvet Sandwich Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting}.
