    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.
