Beach Ball Cookies
These cookies are as colorful as beach balls and just as fun. They're delightful for kids' parties, school bake sales or when you just want a playful treat. Use bright, bold colors, or soft pastels for springtime. —Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
