Cover and refrigerate until firm enough to roll, 4 hours or overnight., Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-1/2-in. sock monkey-shaped cookie cutter. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. , Bake until edges are firm, 8-10 minutes. Remove to wire racks; cool completely., Place first 5 icing ingredients in a small bowl; beat on low speed just until blended. Beat on high until stiff peaks form, 4-5 minutes. Thin with cream to desired consistency. Divide icing into thirds. Tint 1 portion red and 1 portion gray; leave remaining portion white. , Pipe icing onto cookies and decorate with black sprinkles as desired.
