The sour cream in these cookies makes them a soft, rich sugar cookie. Dancer had a hard time waiting 24 hours to start cutting them out. I had sort of forgotten about them and thought we would roll them when we got the chance, but she announced, "only an hour and 42 minutes until we can do the cookies!" She was really watching the time! My kids are growing up, when we decorated the cookies, they were very careful with the sprinkles and tried to make them look nice. None of the piling a mountain of sprinkles on each cookie and no big mess to clean up at the end. Not that I am complaining, just a little pang of sadness that those messy days of baking are over at our house.

I have a seven year old you can borrow if you miss over-sprinkled cookies. Frankly, my 60+ aunt still oversprinkles because she likes sprinkles so much. I'm thinking it's a hereditary trait. :o)
So glad you enjoyed the comic!
Peace and Laughter,
