Ingredients

  • 1 cup Icing Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2-3 tbsp Milk (or non-dairy substitute like almond, oat, soy, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Add the powdered icing sugar to a glass measuring cup or small bowl.

  2. Add in the vanilla extract, then the milk. Always use a small amount of milk at first, and add more as needed.

  3. Mix all ingredients together vigorously with a spoon until all of the sugar clumps break up and you have a smooth, even mixture.

  4. If necessary, add more milk to the mixture, 1/2 tsp at a time, until the perfect consistency is reached for drizzling.

  5. When the glaze is ready, drizzle it over cooled cookies, cakes, muffins, and loaves. Allow to set for about 20 minutes before serving or storing for later.
