Remove dough from refrigerator and discard plastic wrap. Place cold dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll out to 1/8-inch thickness, removing and replacing parchment paper as needed. Cut out desired shapes using lightly floured cookie cutters and place on prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. If necessary, chill dough for 20-30 minutes after rolling and before cutting out cookies.
Bake cookies until edges are slightly golden, 15-18 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through baking. Let cool completely (about 30 minutes) before decorating.
While cookies bake, prepare icing and colored sugar. For colored sugar, divide sugar into 1/4 cup portions. Add 1-2 drops of food coloring per portion and mix thoroughly to distribute color.
To prepare icing, combine powdered sugar and milk in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed with extra milk. If desired, divide icing into separate containers and color with food coloring.
Ice cooled cookies with prepared icing and immediately decorate with colored sugar.
