Chocolate Sheet Cake Cookies.....

I think I've found a new favorite cookie! This recipe is based on a chocolate sheet cake....some may call it a Texas sheet cake....to me it's simply a chocolate sheet cake. 

The recipe I have for a Texas sheet cake is a white cake with almond flavoring....which I'd just about bet would be great as a cookie, too!

This is one of those recipe videos that floats through social media and I finally got around to giving it a whirl.

Ok....on to the recipe....
