Gramma's Chocolate Cookies

Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃) 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℉ (180℃) for 10 to 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.
