Ingredients
  

For the Cookies

  • 1 box milk chocolate cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • cup canola oil

For the Chocolate Icing

  • 3 tablespoons whole milk
  • ½ cup unsalted sweet cream butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, blend the cake mix, eggs, and oil together until the dough is fully incorporated and smooth.
  • Portion the dough using an ice cream scoop, spacing each scoop about two inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, then let the cookies rest briefly before transferring them to a wire cooling rack. Continue baking remaining dough in batches.

For the Icing

  • In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine the butter, cocoa powder, and milk. Whisk steadily until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
  • Take the pan off the heat and gradually whisk in the powdered sugar until a silky consistency is achieved.
  • Set a cookie sheet beneath the cooling rack to catch any excess drizzle. Spoon the icing generously over each cookie. Allow to set before serving.
