Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 2 eggs, whisked
  • 1/3 cup oil

Frosting

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Prepare Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, whisked eggs, and oil. Mix thoroughly until the dough is completely incorporated. Note that the dough will be quite thick.
  3. Scoop Cookies: Using a medium-sized cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon, place dollops of dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheets, spacing them to prevent sticking.
  4. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes. After baking, remove the cookie sheet and let the cookies cool on it for 4-5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a cooling rack. Repeat the scooping and baking process with the remaining dough.
  5. Make the Frosting: While the cookies bake, combine the butter, cocoa powder, and milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk continuously until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat, then whisk in the powdered sugar until the frosting reaches a smooth consistency.
  6. Frost the Cookies: Pour the warm frosting over the cooled cookies. Use a knife or spoon to spread the frosting evenly, ensuring each cookie is fully covered.
  7. Set and Serve: Allow the frosting to set before serving. Store the finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • To ensure cookies bake evenly, do not overfill the cookie scoop.
  • Allow cookies to cool slightly on the cookie sheet before transferring to prevent breakage.
  • You can substitute milk with dairy-free alternatives for a lactose-free option.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them moist and prevent the frosting from drying out.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed within three days of baking for optimal flavor and texture.
