Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, melted chocolate, and vanilla; mix well.

Combine soda and flour together. Alternately add flour mixture and milk to egg batter, beating well after each addition.

Drop by teaspoonfuls, 2" apart, onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 min., or until dull on top and firm to the touch. Remove cookies from sheets immediately and cool on rack.

To frost: Melt chocolate and butter in saucepan; remove from heat. Stir in sugar, vanilla, and enough cream to become spreading consistency.
