Chocolate Waffle Cookies

1 c butter or margarine
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 c cocoa
4 eggs
2 t vanilla
2 c flour
1/4 t salt

Cream together butter and sugar.  Add cocoa, eggs and vanilla; mix well.  Stir in flour and salt.  Drop by rounded teaspoon onto hot waffle iron (belgian waffle irons don't work well, needs to be a 'traditional' waffle iron).  Cook approx. 50 seconds.  Remove and let cool before frosting.

Frosting:

3 T butter, softened
1/2 t vanilla
3 c powdered sugar
1/4 c cocoa
4-6 T milk

Mix powdered sugar and cocoa together; stir in butter and vanilla.  Slowly add milk, stirring as you go until you've reached the desired consistency for frosting cookies.  Stir until smooth.
