Ingredients in Swig Sugar Cookies

The best part about these cookies is how easy they are! And I bet that you already have all of these ingredients in your kitchen. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

Butter: I used unslated butter and let it sit out on my counter so that it could soften before I mixed it in! Vegetable Oil: This is what will make your cookies nice and soft! Sugar: You MUST use sugar in sugar cookies!Powdered Sugar: The powdered sugar is ultra sweet and adds in some extra flavor. Water: I used cold water for the cookies. Eggs: I like to use large eggs whenever I am baking! Baking Soda: The baking soad will act as a leavening agent and help your cookies rise and get nice and soft. Cream of Tartar: This prevents the sugar from crystalizing. Salt: The salt enhances all of the flavors in the sugar cookies. Flour: I used all purpose flour for these cookies and they turned out great!

Frosting:

Butter: Use unslated butter that is softened to room temperature. Sour Cream: This is the secret ingredient in this delicious frosting! Powdered Sugar: This adds a sweet taste and dissolves easily making the frosting smooth and creamy. Salt: A pinch of salt brings out all of the delicious flavors of the cookies! Milk: I used one percent milk but you can use whatever you have on hand. Food Coloring: Red or pink food coloring will make these cookie exactly like the ones from Swig!

How to Make Swig Sugar Cookies

Trust me when I say that these will be one of the best sugar cookies that you will ever eat! Why else would I drive so far to get one? They are insanely delicious.

To Make the Frosting

Room temperature ingredients: Before mixing up your dough, take the time to set your ingredients out so that they can soften up. Room temperature ingredients mix up SO much better, and your dough and frosting will be so smooth with no lumps!Don’t open the oven: So many people are tempted to open the oven to check out how their cookies are doing. Don’t do it! This causes the hot air to be released and can result in your cookies being baked unevenly. Use the oven light instead!Do I have to chill the dough? Nope! Not with these cookies. All the more reason to make them right now!
