Notes:
- You may color this frosting as desired.
- For the sprinkles, since they tend to roll all of the place. After applying to the cookie sheet, place a sheet of plastic wrap over the frosted sugar cookies and gently press the sprinkles into the frosting.
- These cut beautifully with a pizza wheel cutter.
- While the cookies were still warm, I used a 2" round cookie cuter and cut out round circles. This worked wonderfully. There are some cookie scraps when you cut out circles but they never go to waste. Those are the chef's treat.

I am married and mother to an adult son, two rescue dogs; a small pug mix and a young Yorkshire Terrier. I prefer baking to cooking. I have a wonderful husband who will clean-up after I do the cooking.
