     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.
