Ingredients
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0 drops Food coloring (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of milk to the powdered sugar and stir until smooth. The consistency should be thick but pourable; add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
Step 3
Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Step 4
If desired, divide the glaze into separate bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each to create different colors.
Step 5
Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the glaze over cookies, or dip the top side of each cookie directly into the glaze.
Step 6
Let the cookies sit on a wire rack for 20-30 minutes or until the glaze hardens completely before serving or storing.
