Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (13.25 ounces)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk

  2. Combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil until a thick dough forms.
  3. Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are set and centers look soft.
  5. Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Whisk in the cocoa powder and milk until well combined, then stir in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar until smooth.
