Recipe Introduction


These make a soft puffy cookie. I made them larger and sandwiched them together using Marshmallow "Fluff" and left off the icing. Good plain, too! My new favorite cookie!



List of Ingredients




1 C Brown Sugar
1/2 C Butter or Margarine
1 Egg
1/2 C Cocoa
1 1/2 C Flour
1/2 t Baking soda
1/2 C Milk
1 t Vanilla
1/2 C Chopped Walnuts (I omitted)
Chocolate Icing:
1 C Confectioners Sugar
2 T Cocoa
1/2 t Vanilla
2 T Butter
Milk





Recipe



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 @ 350* for 10-12 minutes. Remove to wire racks and let cool.
While cookies are baking, make the chocolate icing.
Chocolate Icing:
Mix together the confectioners sugar, cocoa, vanilla and butter. Thin with a little milk if the icing is too thick.
When cookies have cooled, frost with chocolate icing.
