Rainbow Sugar Cookies

I have been so stressed lately with trying to plan a vacation. I know sugar cookies are the last possible things I should be making or eating but I felt the need. I think by adding some rainbow colors to them I made them more fun and more difficult to resist. So good when warm. Milk. mmm.. Anyway.. I made them. I think truth be told I just wanted an excuse to use my new dough scoop. So much easier to scoop things into perfect yummy balls. Truly helps the perfectionist in me.

 

I don't regret it. I'll just go for a long walk now to try and work off the half dozen or so I inhaled.
