Divide dough in half and place in 2 separate bowls. Choose 2 color combos below; add Food Color to each bowl to reach desired colors, mixing just until color is evenly blended. Shape each color dough into a separate disk. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
Cookie Color Combos: Pink = 10 drops Red from Assorted Colors
Green = 15 drops Green from NEON Colors
Blue = 2 drops Blue from Assorted Colors
Purple = 3 drops Red + 2 drops Blue from Assorted Colors
- 3 Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside. Place dough disks on lightly floured surface. Work with one color dough at a time, roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out cookies using 3-inch round cutter or use your favorite Easter shaped cutters, rerolling scraps as needed. Place on prepared baking sheets about 1-inch apart. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Refrigerate dough on baking sheets 10 minutes.
- 4 Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until edges start to brown. Cook on baking sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

Meanwhile, spoon frosting into medium microwavable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 20 to 30 seconds, stirring every 10 seconds. (Frosting should be a pourable consistency.) Dip tops of cookies into frosting. Place frosted cookies on wire rack set over foil-covered baking sheet. (The baking sheet will catch drips.) Sprinkle with Easter or Spring-inspired sprinkles, if desired. Let stand 10 minutes or until frosting is dried.
Test Kitchen Tip: To tint frosting, divide frosting into separate bowls, depending on how many colors you’d like to make. Stir in Assorted or NEON Food Colors 2 to 3 drops at a time, stirring after each addition until desired color is reached.
