Ingredients
**Cookies:**
– 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
– 2 large eggs
– 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
**Frosting:**
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
– 3 tablespoons milk
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and chocolate cake mix. Mix until a thick dough forms.
3. Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
4. Bake for 7–8 minutes, or until the cookies are set. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 4–5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
5. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the cocoa powder and milk, bringing the mixture just to a boil.
6. Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar until smooth.
7. Spoon or drizzle the warm frosting over the cooled cookies. Allow the frosting to set before serving.
Notes
– For added texture and flavor, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the frosting before it sets.
– Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
– These cookies can be frozen without the frosting for up to 3 months. Frost after thawing.
