Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Work with half of cookie dough at a time; refrigerate remaining dough until needed. Cut dough into 8 (1/2-inch) slices.
2 For each cookie, cut off 1/3 of 1 slice of dough. Place larger piece of dough lengthwise on ungreased cookie sheet. Place smaller piece of dough slightly at a diagonal next to larger piece; press dough into 4-inch mitten shape. Repeat with remaining dough, placing cookies 1 inch apart on cookie sheets.
3 Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown and set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely, about 10 minutes.
4 In small bowl, place 1 cup of the frosting. Stir in red icing color until well blended. Frost mittens with red frosting.
5 Place remaining frosting in small resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut 1/8-inch hole in bottom corner of bag. Pipe white frosting at bottom of each mitten. Sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon sprinkles. Let stand until frosting is set, about 30 minutes. Store between sheets of waxed paper in tightly covered container.
