Happy Spring! The picture below doesn't capture how pretty these turned out (I used pastel colors of sanding sugar, I swear)...and oh so yummy! It's a nice small batch cookie with only a few ingredients, thanks to using self-rising flour. Please measure by weight if you can, they are far more likely to turn out correct.

Recipe below contains my modifications.
Ingredients:
1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter
198g (1 c.) sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 large egg
227g (2 c.) self-rising floursanding sugar (or regular sugar) for coating
Directions:
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and creamy (2-3 min).
2. Beat in the egg.
3. Mix in the flour.
4. Cover dough and refrigerate for 30 min. Depending on your oven, heat it so it will be ready when the dough is done chilling. Temperature: 375°F.
5. Line baking sheets with parchment. Form dough into 1 to 1 1/2" balls, then roll in the sanding sugar to coat all over. Place on prepared sheets, spacing 2" apart.
6. Bake for 10-12 min (I went 12). Let cookies rest on sheet for 5 min after removing from oven, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
