You need to find their corresponding *.desktop files in the /usr/share/applications/ directory.

Then copy these *.desktop files to your /home/<YOURUSERNAME>/Desktop/ (also known as ~/Desktop/) directory.

They will show up on the desktop, but initially without their correct icon.

Right-click on them, and in the appearing context menu, check "Allow launching". That will restore their icon, plus allows mouseclicks to open the corresponding apps.

This may not be necessary, but if above does not seem to work, be ready to do this as well, as additional measure.

Install the Gnome Tweaks app:

sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

Open this app from the apps-overview screen, go to its "Extensions" tab, and activate the "Desktop icons" extension.
