These brightly colourful cookies are a hit for everyone, especially the kids.
175g softened butter
50g golden caster sugar
50g icing sugar
2 egg yolks
2 tsp vanilla extract
300g plain flour
Zest and juice 1 orange
140g icing sugar, sifted
Sprinkles, to decorate
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas mark 6.
Prepare 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the butter, sugars, egg yolks and vanilla with a wooden spoon until creamy, then add in the flour in 2 batches.
Stir in the orange zest.
Roll the dough into about 22 walnut-size balls and place on the baking trays.
Bake for 15 minutes until golden, then leave to cool.
Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with enough orange juice to make a thick, runny icing.
Dip each biscuit half into the icing, then straight into the sprinkles.
Dry on a wire rack.
