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....


Chocolate Sheet Cake Cookies

1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup melted chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream together the butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla.
Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until combined then stir in the melted chocolate until thoroughly incorporated.
Drop by spoonful onto parchment lined baking sheet.  Bake at 350 for 7 - 8 minutes.  Do NOT  overbake.
Remove from oven. Let cool before frosting.

Chocolate Icing
1/2 cup butter
2 T. cocoa powder
3 T. milk

Place in saucepan over medium heat until melted.....remove from heat and add

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar.
