Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are very lightly golden and soft, about 15 minutes. Use a spatula to remove cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
When cookies are cool, make glaze: Stir together confectioners' sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.

Use a small spoon or spatula to spread glaze on cookies; alternatively, dip each cookie into the bowl of glaze. Decorate as desired.
