This is the vanilla icing. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa powder and 3 Tbsp. of milk and set aside. This is the choc. icing.

Lay out the biscuits on a cutting board and with a 1 1/2 in. round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out a hole from the middle of each biscuit.

Drain on paper towels and then toss in the cinnamon-sugar or ice and decorate with sprinkles as desired.
