Place two overlapping sheets of plastic wrap on a work surface, transfer the cookie dough mixture onto it, and shape into a ball using your hands. Place the ball in a small bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and freeze until firm, approximately 3 hours. After about 2 hours, when semi-firm, refine the shape as needed.

Combine rainbow and silver sprinkles in a small bowl, mixing evenly.

Transfer the firm dough ball onto a serving platter and cover completely with the mixed sprinkles. If the dough is sufficiently firm, roll it in the sprinkles for even coating.
