Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 box chocolate cake mix 13.25 oz
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 c oil
For the Frosting
- 1 c granulated sugar
- 6 tbsp butter
- 6 tbsp milk
- 1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Prepare the Cookies
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, and oil. Beat with an electric mixer until the dough is fully combined.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a baking sheet, spacing the dough portions about 2 inches apart.
- Refrigerate the baking sheet with the cookie dough for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake the cookies for 8 minutes, or until they are just set.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and leave them on the baking sheet while preparing the frosting.
Prepare the Frosting
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, butter, and milk. Stir frequently until the butter has melted and the mixture comes to a full boil.
- Once boiling, allow the mixture to boil for exactly 60 seconds, then remove it from the heat.
- Add the chocolate chips to the hot mixture and stir until the chocolate has completely melted and the frosting is smooth.
- Spoon or pour the frosting evenly over the warm cookies.
- Allow the frosting to set for at least 30 minutes before removing the cookies from the baking sheet.
Notes
To make this recipe gluten free, use a certified gluten-free chocolate cake mix in place of the standard cake mix. Also verify that the chocolate chips and any other packaged ingredients are labeled gluten free, as ingredients and manufacturing methods can vary by brand. Because gluten-free cake mixes can sometimes produce slightly different textures, monitor the cookies closely during baking and remove them as soon as they are just set to help maintain a soft, fudgy result.
