   Nothing, absolutely nothing, was as delectable as these cookies that my 
  grandmother taunted us with. 
   
   Preheat oven to 350Ü. 
   
   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 350Ü 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.
