    METHOD

    To make the cookies:
    Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Line 2 or 3 large baking sheets with Silpat or parchment paper.

    Combine the flour, sugar, and baking soda in a food processor. 1 tbsp margarine, 1 tbsp water, and vanilla extract Pulse until the mixture is soft and doughy. If necessary, add 1 tbsp more water.

    Place half of the dough between two large sheets of floured parchment paper, working with half at a time. Roll out the dough until it is 14 inch thick. Peel off the top sheet of parchment paper gently. Cut out as many shapes as you can with a 1-inch cookie cutter. You can use any leftover scraps to roll and cut more cookies.

    Place the shapes 12 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the pan.

    To decorate the cookies:
    Place the cookies on a wire rack and generously ice them, allowing excess icing to drip down the sides. Sprinkle with sprinkles right away. Allow the icing on the cookies to set before serving.
