Ingredients

• ⅓ cup salted butter
• 1 Tablespoon molasses
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 4 to 6 Tablespoons milk

Directions

1. Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl.

2. Pour the Tablespoon of molasses on top of the butter.

3. Heat the butter and molasses on HIGH for 15 seconds or until it has melted in the bottom of the bowl or cup.

4. Set the container with the melted butter on your kitchen counter.

5. Stir the butter and molasses together until they are well mixed.

6. Add the vanilla extract to the melted butter and stir it in.

7. Measure out two cups of powdered sugar. Pack the powdered sugar down in the cup when you measure it.

8. Fill a small cup with 6 Tablespoons of whole milk. You probably will NOT use all of this milk in this glaze, so don’t add it to your bowl quite yet.

9. Add the milk (or rum) to your bowl, one Tablespoon at a time, stirring it in as you go. You will add only enough milk (or rum) to make this glaze liquid enough to brush on top of your cookies.

10. When your glaze reaches the proper brushing consistency, brush the tops of your Molasses Walnut Drop Cookies with the glaze with a pastry brush.
