Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp hot water
  • 1 tsp hot water
  • 2 -3 drops food coloring, of your choice (optional)

Directions:

  1. In a 1 cup Pyrex measuring cup, melt 2 Tablespoons butter in the microwave on high for about 1 minute or until butter is completely melted.
  2. Add the 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of hot water, 1 teaspoon vanilla, food color and powdered sugar (yes - it does all fit in a 1 cup Pyrex measuring cup).
  3. Stir until smooth.
  4. Drizzle glaze over cookies/pastries/whatever. I have used a pattern of just hash marks, glazing many cookies at once, and have also used a swirly pattern.
  5. Note: you can substitute any other extract flavor for the vanilla. I have made this many times with almond extract, lemon extract, orange extract, etc. I usually use food color that blends with the season - pink, green, blue for Spring, red and green for Christmas, etc.
