For the cookies:

9. Place cookies about 2 inches apart
10. Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes
11. While cookies are baking, cut the marshmallows in half
12. Once cookies are baked, place a marshmallow into the center of the cookies and lightly press down
13. Place cookies back into the oven for another 2-3 minutes
14. Place a wire rack over another cookie sheet to allow the icing to drip off
15. Once cookies are done baking let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack while you make the icing

For the icing:
1. Combine all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix until combined
2. If the icing is still to thick, add about 3 tbsp of hot water to it to thin it out
3. Using a spoon, spoon some icing onto the marshmallow on the cookie
4. Repeat step number 3 onto a few more cookies
5. Sprinkle a little bit of sprinkles onto the cookies
6. Repeat the last two steps onto the remaining cookies. Remember to only put icing onto a few cookies at a time because the icing will dry fast.
7. Once all the cookies have icing and sprinkles ENJOY!
