Notes
Use a hand mixer: Although you don't have to use an electric mixer to make the cake cookies dough, I recommend doing so because it's the best way to achieve a smooth, lump-free dough.
Chill the cookie dough: Don’t skip chilling the cookie dough! Chilling the dough is going to prevent your cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
Prepare for freezing: If you're planning to freeze some, make sure the rich chocolate icing on top is completely set before you do so. This way it will hold its shape.
