Method:
Nothing, absolutely nothing, was as delectable as these cookies that my grandmother taunted us with.
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl, combine brown sugar and butter; mix well.
Beat egg and add to creamed mixture; mix well.
Add cocoa and mix.
In a separate bowl, measure flour and baking soda.
Add dry ingredients alternately with milk to egg and cocoa mixture.
Stir in vanilla and chopped nuts.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
Remove to wire racks and let cool.
While cookies are baking, make icing by combining all ingredients.
Thin with a little milk if icing is too thick.
When cookies have cooled, frost with chocolate icing.
Yield: 3 dozen.
