Place cookies about 2 inches apart
bake the cookies for about 10 minutes
while cookies are baking, cut the marshmallows in half
once cookies are baked, place a marshmallow into the center of the cookies and lightly press down
place cookies back into the oven for another 2-3 minutes

If the icing is still to thick, add about 3 tbsp of hot water to it to thin it out
Using a spoon, spoon some icing onto the marshmallow on the cookie
repeat step number 3 onto a few more cookies
Sprinkle alittle bit of sprinkles onto the cookies
repeat the last two steps onto the remaining cookies. Remember to only put icing onto a few cookies at a time because the icing will dry fast.
