TEXAS SHEET CAKE COOKIES
This is the cookie version of the fudgy, chocolaty goodness that is a Texas sheet cake. Make sure to frost these cookies while both the cookies, and the frosting, are still warm--because this frosting sets up quickly! Feel free to top these with either chopped walnuts or pecans, if desired. Store in airtight containers.

Steps:
- Place chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- Combine butter and sugar in a bowl and beat using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. Mix in melted chocolate until thoroughly incorporated. Stir in 1/2 of the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Mix in buttermilk. Stir in remaining dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to drop rounded balls of dough 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are just set, 8 to 10 minutes. Do not overbake. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheets. Do not remove cookies from the baking sheets.
- Combine butter, heavy cream, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan set over low heat. Whisk until butter is melted and frosting is smooth and combined. Mix in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Keep whisking over low heat until frosting is smooth and shiny, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove chocolate frosting from heat and immediately pour approx 1 to 2 tablespoons over each cookie while still warm. Use the back of a spoon to gently smooth out frosting as needed. Allow cookies to cool and frosting to set completely before gently removing from the baking sheets.

TEXAS SHEET CAKE COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. For the cookies: Put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50 percent power in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and whisk.
- Combine the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and light, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and melted chocolate and beat until well combined, about 30 seconds. With the mixer on low speed, beat in half of the flour mixture, then the buttermilk, then the remaining flour mixture until smooth. Mix in the pecans.
- Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough on the baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until the tops of the cookies are puffed and the edges are set, 8 to 10 minutes. (Don't overbake; you want the centers to stay fudgy.) Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then remove to a rack set over a separate parchment-lined baking sheet.
- For the glaze: Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and whisk in the milk, cocoa powder and vanilla until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and whisk vigorously until smooth. Spoon the glaze over the cookies, letting it drip down the sides. Let the glaze set, about 1 hour.
TEXAS STRAWBERRY CRUNCH SHEET CAKE
Food and drink are an important part of independence celebrations all over the world. Juneteenth is all about community, fellowship and the cookout is an essential part of that. Family and friends come together to celebrate and partake in red foods and drinks that some view as symbols of sacrifice and suffering and others embrace as signs of resilience and joy. This delicate cake is inspired by Texas sheet cake, substituting chocolate cake for strawberry cake and chocolate ganache for chantilly cream. The strawberry purée is a perfect way to use up slightly overripe strawberries and the strawberry cookie crunch topping adds a nostalgic feel and extra texture to this center-of-the-table cake.

Steps:
- For the strawberry cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray, then line with parchment paper, allowing the parchment to hang over the sides. Lightly coat the parchment with cooking spray.
- Put 8 ounces of the strawberries in a blender and process until pureed; you should have 1 cup. Set aside.
- Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.
- Beat the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl halfway through.
- Add the eggs, one at the time, beating to blend between additions and occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl until the batter is completely combined, smooth and creamy.
- With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the strawberry purée, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
- Add the vanilla and mix until combined, making sure not to overmix. Add a few drops of the pink food coloring if using until you reach the desired color. Chop the remaining 8 ounces strawberries; you should have 1 cup. Fold the chopped strawberries into the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes (see Cook's Note).
- Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before inverting it on a wire rack or serving dish. Remove the parchment and allow to cool completely, 30 to 35 minutes.
- For the whipped cream: Add the gelatin to the heavy cream in the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk by hand until fully dissolved. Beat the heavy cream mixture in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on low speed. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar until combined. Increase to medium high speed and whisk until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the vanilla until combined.
- For the strawberry shortcake topping: The cookies and wafers each have different textures, so they need to be processed one at a time. Pulse the spiced biscuit cookies in a food processor until crushed, then transfer to a plate. Pulse the strawberry crème-filled sandwich cookies and transfer to the same plate. Pulse the strawberry-flavored wafer cookies, transfer to the plate and mix together the cookie crumbs.
- Spread the whipped cream on top of the cake, then sprinkle generously with the strawberry shortcake topping (see Cook's Note). Slice and serve.
CLASSIC TEXAS SHEET CAKE
If you love chocolate, and we mean really truly love, then this classic Texas sheet cake is exactly what your sweet tooth craves. Between the scratch-made cake and the decadent homemade frosting, this dessert is a chocolate lover's dream come true. Unlike most cakes, this tender-crumbed delight should be frosted when it's still hot-no need to let it cool. Pour on the sticky, sweet pecan-flecked frosting and watch it spread into a gloriously glossy blanket that'll keep your cake moist and fresh tasting for as long as it lasts.

Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate: The chocolate is the star of this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just set: The cookies should be slightly underbaked in the center. This will give them a chewy texture.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
