Glaze:

• 1 cup confectioners' sugar

2. In a separate bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add in the egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix well.

7. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. While the cookies are cooling, make the glaze by mixing together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
9. Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over them and let it set before serving.
