Shape dough into a 7-inch roll. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 2 to 3 hours or until dough is firm enough to slice. Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut roll into 1/4-inch slices.* Place slices 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 7 minutes or until edges are firm. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool. Place frosting in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 100% power (high) for 10 to 20 seconds or just until melted; stir. Dip half of each cookie into melted frosting, allowing excess frosting to drip back into bowl. Repeat dipping if necessary for a thicker coating. Return cookie to wire rack. Sprinkle dipped portions of cookies with red and/or green sprinkles. Let stand until frosting is set. Tip: If the dough crumbles slightly when you slice it, simply press the crumbled dough together to re-shape the slice into a round. To Store: Layer decorated cookies between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container; cover. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
