1. **Prepare the Cookies:**
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
– In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, and oil. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
– Scoop the dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
– Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. **Prepare the Frosting:**
– In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
– Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, beating on low speed until combined.
– Add the milk and vanilla extract, and continue to beat on medium speed until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. If needed, adjust the consistency with additional milk or powdered sugar.
3. **Frost the Cookies:**
– Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of frosting on each cookie.
– Optionally, decorate with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for an extra touch.
