Chocolate Frosting I

Ingredients

• 5 1/3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 tablespoons boiling water
• 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, cream the butter. Add in cocoa, salt and boiling water, stirring until smooth.

Add powdered sugar and beat until frosting reaches a spreadable consistency. If frosting seems too thick, add water. If it seems too thin, add powdered sugar.

Spread on cooled cookies, such as Frosted Chocolate Walnut Goodies.
