Shape the Donut Cookies

Divide the cookie dough into two equal portions. Roll out each portion to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a donut-shaped cookie cutter to cut out donut shapes from the dough. Then use a smaller round cookie cutter to cut out the center of each donut shape. Carefully transfer the cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking sheet with the cookies in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.

Decorate with Colorful Icing

Prepare your favorite icing in different colors. You can use royal icing or buttercream icing. Fill a piping bag with one of the icing colors and pipe it onto the donut cookies to create the icing glaze. Add sprinkles or other decorating elements to make them look like real donuts. Repeat with different colors and decorations for each cookie.
