Make this easy with cake mix!

Garnish-chocolate icing, warmed
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. In large bowl, beat cake mix, milk or water, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat on high speed for 1 minute.
3. Using a 1 small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, drop the batter in 1 to 1 1/2-inch diameter circles onto cookie sheets leaving about 1-inch all around to allow for spreading. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until set being careful to not over bake.
4. Cool 2 minutes in pan, then remove from cookie sheets and place on cooling rack to cool completely before filling.
