Texas Sheet Cake Cookies

Hey y'all! 

I got the recipe for these cookies from the amazing blog called

Cookies and Cups. 

These cookies are like heaven in your mouth. 

They have a consistency a bit like

 brownies with an icing that hardens like the Magic Shell 

 you put on ice cream. The baseball team 

adored them! But I do recommend that you double the recipe

 if you're making them for a 

team of teenage baseball players and their coaches. I

 had enough for the boys and the coaches to have one each

 but they weren't very happy that all they got was one! But that is okay

 because they still adore me! Now I'm sure you guys are just

 ready for the recipe! Here it is!

 Get all of your ingredients together. I like to pre-measure everything 
beforehand. It makes it easier to add the ingredients when they're all ready.

Put the butter and sugar in a bowl then mix it until it is fluffy. Then add the two eggs and mix until combined. 

Add in the flour a little at a time

While the batter is mixing, start melting the chocolate chips. Put the chips in a microwave bowl and microwave them for 30 seconds at a time. It took two cycles to get the chips melted. 

 Mix the melted chocolate in with the batter.

Scoop the dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Pop the min the over for 7-8 minutes. DO NOT overbake them. 

Now you're going to pour icing on the cookies so I put a wire rack on a cookie sheet that is covered with wax paper. This minimizes the mess.

 Once the cookies are done, move them to the wire rack set up. You'll make the icing while they're cooling. 

Put the butter, milk and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

 This is what it looks like when it is almost done.

Whisk in the powdered sugar until all the lumps are gone.

 This is about what it should look like.

Just pour the icing over the cookies, let them set and you're done!
