Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls.

Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.

Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your hand.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth to create icing.

Decorate cooled cookies with icing and sprinkles as desired.
