    Add the violet sanding sugar and the flat purple sprinkles to a food processor and process until dusty and the consistency of powdered sugar, scraping the bowl as needed, about 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar and pulse just to combine. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. Wipe the bowl of the food processor clean and repeat with the orange sanding sugar, orange flat sprinkles and the remaining 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar.
  6. Create Cookie Ball

    Place the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Scoop heaping tablespoons of the cookie dough up and roll them into balls (you should have 24 balls). Toss 12 of the balls in the granulated sugar first, then in the purple confectioners’ sugar, coating them very generously and thoroughly. Arrange the balls about 1 inch apart on one of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining 12 balls, granulated sugar and the orange confectioners’ sugar. Coat all the balls again in the purple or orange confectioners’ sugar; double coating them will enhance the color.
  7. Bake

    Bake on the upper and lower oven racks until the cookies spread, the tops crack and the edges are firm, 14 to 16 minutes, switching the pans top to bottom about halfway through baking. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  8. When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods).
