Transfer to a clean surface and knead to get it together. Cover with cling film and chill the dough for an hour.
Preheat oven to 350 Deg F (180 Deg C). Line baking tray with non stick parchment paper.
Roll the dough in 1/8" thick round shape and cut out desired shapes with cookie cutters or any bottle lids.
Transfer the cookies on baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes. Rotate the tray midway through baking time.
Let them cool on baking sheet for sometime and then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
For icing: Combine all ingredients for glaze with a whisk till its smooth except the food color. Divide the glaze in different bowls and add food colors of your choice.
Take a ziploc bag. Fill it with the glaze. Snipe of small end of the bag and use it as piping bag. Decorate as you wish. Spread the icing with toothpick. Before adding another colored glaze wait for few minutes so the earlier glaze sets.
