Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Prep the cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Prep a small ice cream scoop, small round cookie cutter, and your hands with non-stick baking spray.
Using the ice cream scoop make 2 scoops for each cookie.
Roll 2 scoops together to form 1 cookie ball.
Use your hands to flatten the cookie ball into a flat cookie.
Make a hole in the center of each cookie by using a small round cookie cutter.
Bake at 375 degrees for 9-10 minutes.
Allow the baked cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for about 2 minutes.
Carefully move the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost with either the Chocolate or White icing and decorate with patriotic sprinkles.
Transfer the remaining cookie dough back to the refrigerator.
Chocolate Ganache Directions:
Pour the cup of heavy whipping cream in a small pot.
Simmer until hot.
Put the semi chocolate chips into a bowl.
Pour the hot heavy cream over the chocolate chips.
Whip until the chocolate chips have melted.
Blend the two ingredients together.
Dip each cookie into the bowl of ganache covering 1 side of the cookie.
Sprinkle the red, white, and blue sprinkles on each cookie.
White Glaze Directions:
Add the confectioners sugar, milk, and vanilla in a mixing bowl.
Using an electric mixer, beat until smooth.
Dip the cookies into the glaze.
