2. Roll one-third of the dough at a time 1/4-inch-thick between sheets of lightly floured wax paper. Cut into about 2-1/2-inch rounds. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake in a preheated 375º F oven 10 minutes. Remove from baking sheets to cool on racks.
   
   
3. To prepare the frosting: In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter and milk on low heat until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the powdered sugar, malted milk powder and vanilla. Spread on the cooled cookies while the frosting is still warm.
