Y’all, let me tell you about a mouthwatering Texas treat that’s gonna make your afternoon absolutely divine! As a born and raised Southern gal, I’m spilling the tea on my grandmother’s famous Texas Sheet Cake Cookies that’ll have your family begging for seconds.
These little bites of heaven combine the rich, chocolatey goodness of a traditional Texas sheet cake with the convenience of a cookie. Trust me, honey, once you try these, you’ll be the talk of every potluck and family gathering!
Here’s what you’ll need, sugar:
For the cookies:
– 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
– 1½ cups granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2½ cups all-purpose flour
– ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
For that irresistible fudgy frosting:
– ½ cup butter
– 3 tablespoons milk
– 2½ cups powdered sugar
– ¼ cup cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ½ cup chopped pecans (because we’re Texas fancy, y’all!)
Now, let’s get our hands dirty! 💁♀️
1. Preheat that oven to 350°F (like a hot Texas summer day!)
2. Cream together your butter and sugar until it’s fluffier than a cloud
3. Beat in those eggs and vanilla until smooth
4. Mix your dry ingredients separately (flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt)
5. Gradually blend the dry mixture into your wet ingredients
