TEXAS SHEET CAKE COOKIES

-
Moist chocolate cookies {make with a cake mix} and covered in a cooked chocolate frosting.

I am aware that I have already posted a chocolate recipe this week.  I am also aware that there can NEVER be enough chocolate recipes, cookie recipes and more importantly…easy recipes.  If you have never been fortunate enough to have a piece of Texas Sheet Cake, than I am truly sorry.  I ate my first piece as an adult and I am serious when I tell you this…I feel like my childhood was incomplete without it.

The first time grandma Pearl made it for a family gathering, I was hooked but who wouldn’t be?  Texas Sheet Cakes are a thin and super moist chocolate cake that are coated with a homemade and decadent cooked chocolate frosting.  There isn’t any evidence to confirm that this cake actually originated in Texas but we will go with tradition {although Oregon Sheet Cake Cookies has a good ring to it}.

NUTELLA MUG CAKE

This single serving Nutella mug cake is ridiculously easy to make with just 3 ingredients. It's rich, dense, chocolatey and everything a flourless cake should be. You may recall earlier last year I posted my 2 Ingredient Flourless Nutella Mug Cake, a recipe I created for my 5-Minute Mug Cakes* cookbook. It remains one of my favorite recipes to date, but a lot of readers were avoiding it because the recipe requires the cake to rest for several hours (even though it only takes 5 minutes to make). Nutella Mug Cake Ingredients:  1/4 cup Nutella  1 large egg  1/2 tbsp dutch processed cocoa powder Directions: Combine all ingredients in an oversized microwave-safe mug. Mix vigorously with a small whisk until batter is smooth and the egg has been completely mixed in. Cook in the microwave for about 1 minute 10 seconds. The cake should be set but may be slightly wet on top. Let cake cool for 15 minutes before serving. The cake will condense down during this cooling proces
