Slice chilled dough into pieces, form six-pointed star shapes, and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake cookies for 12 minutes for chewy texture or 15 minutes for crispy texture. Cool for 30 minutes on a wire rack.

Prepare icing by mixing powdered sugar and water until a ribbon is formed. Transfer to a piping bag and decorate cookies with snowflake designs.
