Plain Glaze (low carb)

2 cups (8 ounces) Swerve sweetener, confectioners’ style
3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened

To color, stir drops of food coloring into the glaze until it reaches the desired tint. For a citrus-flavored glaze, substitute orange, lemon, or lime juice for the milk. The glaze can also be flavored with ½ teaspoon of your favorite extract.

Whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Spread glaze onto completely cooled cookies. Let glaze dry completely, about 30 minutes, before serving.
