Just like their full-size namesake, my moist and chewy cookies are slathered with crackly chocolate icing. —Tracy Pesho, North Royalton, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 package (15-1/4 ounces) chocolate cake mix
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • FROSTING:
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk
  • 2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • Sea salt, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Add cake mix and oil until combined.
  2. Drop or scoop by tablespoonfuls into parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until edges are set, 7-8 minutes. Let stand on cookie sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine butter, cocoa and milk. Cook over medium heat, until butter has melted, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add confectioners sugar; whisk until smooth.
  4. Spoon frosting over cookies; sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.
