Bake this in oven for 15 mins. Remove it from oven and let it cool on the tray for 15 mins..Because it will get hard as it cools
While the cookies are cooling, make icing. Take everything except sprinkles in a sauce pan and heat till it is melted. Remove it from heat and cool it slightly.

Let this set for 2 hours. Now store this in air tight container.
