• Place dough mounds on baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart (I bake 8 cookies per sheet) and bake for about 8 to 11 minutes, or until edges have set and tops are just set, even if slightly undercooked, pale, and glossy in the center; don't overbake. Cookies firm up as they cool. I let them cool on the baking sheet and don't use a rack while making the frosting.

• Add the remaining ingredients (except the sprikles) and whisk aggressively until smooth and combined.
