Ingredients

Cookie

1 box chocolate cake mix {I used chocolate fudge}
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Frosting

1/2 cup butter
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
3 tbsp milk
1/2-1 tsp peppermint extract
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup peppermint pieces {chopped}

Instructions

Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine cookie ingredients in large bowl and mix until completely incorporated. NOTE: Dough will be thick.
Using a medium sized cookie scoop {or heaping tablespoon}, scoop cookies onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Repeat until all of the dough is baked.

Frosting

Combine the first 3 frosting ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat and whisk until the mixture has melted. Remove from heat, add peppermint extract and powdered sugar, whisk until smooth.
Pour frosting over cookies. Use a knife or spoon to move excess frosting and be sure that each cookie is completely covered. Top with peppermint pieces.
Let frosting set and serve. Keep your Texas sheet cake cookies in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
