Spring Has Sprung Cookies

How cute are these cookies! They're basically just butter cookies but with some orange zest added to give them some fresh spring flavor. I also dusted them with round pastel sprinkles to make them festive! These are almost too cute to eat...ALMOST!

Ingredients: (3 dozen cookies)

¾ c sugar
½ c butter, softened
1 egg
1½ c all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp orange zest (1 orange)
Sprinkles

Prep:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

2. Combine sugar, butter and egg in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add all remaining ingredients. Beat, scraping bowl often, until well mixed.

3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Pour sprinkles.

4. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
