Cookie Frosting
- 3 cups powdered sugar

- 2–3 tbsp milk
- 2 tsp corn syrup
- 1–2 drops red food coloring

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer or with an electric mixer, beat butter until whipped and creamy.
- Add in powdered sugar. Beat again until smooth.
- Beat in egg, vanilla, and salt until combined.
- Pour the flour into the bowl a little at a time. Blend until smooth and incorporated.
- Roll the dough into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for 30-45 minutes.
- Remove from the fridge. Roll out the dough into 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Use small cookie cutters (that are about 1 inch in diameter) to cut the dough into shapes.
- Line the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-11 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool the cookies completely before glazing.
- In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt. Separate icing evenly into 3 smaller bowls:1) white icing – leave plain, 2) pink icing- stir in a couple drops of red food coloring, and 3) chocolate icing – stir in cocoa powder until smooth.
- Dip the tops of the cookies into the icing and sprinkle the top of the cookies with sprinkles. Place the decorated cookies on a large sheet of wax paper to set.
- Let the cookies set for 15-20 minutes on the parchment paper. Or pop them in the fridge or freezer for 10 minutes to blast chill them.
