How to make White Texas Sheet Cake Cookies with a Cake Mix
Begin by combining the cake mix, eggs and oil in a bowl with a hand held mixer. I like to whisk the dry cake mix before mixing to be sure and remove any lumps.
You can see all of my Cake Mix Cookie Baking Tips here.
The dough will be thick and wonderful!
Then using a medium cookie scoop {or 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough}, scoop mounds of dough onto a silicone mat {or parchment} lined baking sheet.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 9-11 minutes or until the cookies just begin to get golden brown on the peaks.
The key is to not over bake the cookies because they will continue to cook once you remove them from the oven.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
White Sheet Cake Glaze on the Stove Top
In a sauce pan on the stove top, combine butter and milk over medium heat. Warm until the butter is melted and the milk is warm.
Remove from the stove top and add the vanilla and powdered sugar. Whisk until the glaze is smooth and thick.
Spoon a heaping teaspoon of glaze on top of each cookie and spread out to the edges. I like to use the back of the spoon.
The glaze might seep over the edges of the cookie and that is exactly what you are looking for.
Allow the glaze to cool completely before stacking them on top of each other.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t eat one…remember, it is your duty to do quality control.
Every single bite of these White Sheet Cake Cookies is pure joy and deliciousness. I really can’t get over it, my mouth is watering just thinking about them.
The best part about them might just be that there isn’t a day or occasion that they aren’t perfect for! The fact that they are made with a cake mix is an extra bonus.
