Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Gently flatten the tops with your hand — these are soft cookies, not crisp gingersnaps.

Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until edges are set but centers look soft.

Cool completely before frosting.
3. Make the Frosting
-
Beat butter until creamy.

Add vanilla and a splash of milk until smooth, fluffy, and spreadable.
-
Taste and add a tiny pinch of salt if needed to balance sweetness.
4. Frost & Decorate
-
Spread a generous spoonful of icing over each cooled cookie.
-
Scatter Christmas sprinkles on top.
