These are not fragile, melt in your mouth cookies that you have to refrigerate/freeze and roll on wax paper. These are kid friendly, make right away, sugar vehicles - able to withstand having mounds of sprinkles piled on without breaking.

1 1/2 c sugar
1 c sour cream
3 eggs at room temperature
3 tsp vanilla
