Cover the dough and refrigerate for about 1 hour

Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Use your finger or the back of a round utensil to create a small hole in the center of each cookie, shaping them into donut-like rings

Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely

For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth

Dip the tops of the cooled cookies into the glaze and decorate with sprinkles while the glaze is still wet

Allow the glaze to set before enjoying your delicious donut cookies!
