Texas sheet cake is thin, one-layer, rich chocolate cake made in a shallow jelly roll pan. It typically is covered in glossy chocolate or hot fudge topping with pecans and cut into squares to feed a crowd.
We’ve taken the best attributes of this cake to create decadent, portable cookies. Direct from our Cookies cookbook, these Texas sheet cake cookies are soft and moist, with a delicious old-fashioned chocolate pecan flavor. Made with cocoa, buttermilk, butter, vanilla, and pecans stirred into the batter, for nutty taste in every bite. A silky chocolate frosting is slathered over the tops, with additional pecans for even more crunch.
These incredibly delicious cookies can be toted to potlucks, picnics, or showers. But being able to eat them without a fork means you can tuck a few into a lunch box, pull them out on a road trip, or bring them to the game for half-time treat.
Want the ultimate eating experience? Nothing goes better with these Texas sheet cake cookies than a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot coffee. They let the chocolatey goodness of these cookies shine even brighter.
If you don't have buttermilk on hand stir together 1/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vinegar and let stand 5 minutes.
