Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the pre-cut basketball cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared sheet.
Optional: Brush each cookie lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with orange sanding sugar for extra shine.
Bake 12–14 minutes, or until edges are just golden.
Let cookies rest on the baking sheet 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Get creative: sandwich two cookies with frosting and sprinkles, turn into mini cookie cups, or bake as a crust for a fruit pizza.
