what is Texas sheet cake? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First things first: I'm from New Jersey, not Texas. And I know a lot of proud Texans. So I will then tell all you Texans... your sheet cake is amazing. And Texas sheet cake cookies are little bites of heaven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texas sheet cake is a layer of moist chocolate cake and topped with warm, poured chocolate frosting. It's traditionally sprinkled with chopped pecans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some believe it's called \"Texas sheet cake\" because it first appeared in a Texan newspaper. Some say it's because it's the size of Texas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I say it's awesome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO MAKE TEXAS SHEET CAKE COOKIES <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You'll need ingredients to make the fudge chocolate cookies and to top with generous dollops of chocolate frosting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

INGREDIENTS for the COOKIES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

FLOUR <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use all-purpose flour. We recommend weighing flour with a digital scale.<\/a><\/strong> The weights vary quite a bit depending on whether you dip the measuring cup in the flour or spoon the flour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BAKING POWDER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking powder adds carbon dioxide to encourage the cookies to rise up and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SALT <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never forget your salt in cookies! You will notice. Salt keeps away the bland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUTTER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the standard is to use unsalted butter when baking, I personally prefer salted. I feel it gives an extra depth to the cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I usually use the Land O' Lakes brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the cookies, to cream the butter and sugar, the butter should be slightly softened, but not cold. Don't over soften the butter! (For the frosting, you'll be melting the butter.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUGAR <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose granulated sugar for this recipe. (For those outside the US, that means table sugar, not icing sugar and not super-fine.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

EGG<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless otherwise stated, most recipes use large-size eggs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

VANILLA EXTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 I prefer pure extract, not imitation flavoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melted chocolate chips are what give the cookies their fudge center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

INGREDIENTS for the FROSTING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You'll also need BUTTER<\/strong> for the frosting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

COCOA POWDER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this recipe, choose unsweetened cocoa powder, like the Hershey's Brand. (As opposed to Dutch-processed cocoa powder.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MILK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any of your favorite milks work in this recipe. I used regular 2% milk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONFECTIONER'S SUGAR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The confectioner\u2019s sugar, also known as powdered sugar or icing sugar, is best for frosting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
