Make sure all the ingredients are well combined in this dough.
Make 1 inch balls out of the dough and place them (2 inches apart) on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake for 12-15 mins... The cookies shouldn't be all brown on the top, but should be brown on the bottom.
While the cookies were baking, I quickly made the glaze. As soon as the cookies were done, I dunked them in the bowl of glaze and once well coated, I placed them on a rack to drain and immediately sprinkled some sprinkles.
I let it sit over night so it was nice and dry and then stored in an airtight container.
