Swig Sugar Cookies

Everyone likes sugar cookies. Except me – maybe because I don’t really like frosting on things? (I know, also weird, but what can you do?)

Anyone else totally incapable of eating just one cookie? With normal cookies, I just don’t think it can be done. Does anyone ever stop with just one? I think you always have two. Or at least I do. Maybe I just have no self control? I should probably work on that.

But I had never had a Swig sugar cookie before now. This copycat Swig sugar cookies recipe may just have converted me to someone that can enjoy sugar cookies. First of all – so easy. No chilling time, no rolling and cutting out the dough, no detailed frosting work required. In short, they’re pretty much the easiest sugar cookies known to man.

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

• 1 cup Unsalted Butter
• 3/4 cup Vegetable Oil
• 1 1/4 cups Granulated Sugar
• 3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
• 5 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Cream Of Tartar

For the Frosting:

• 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
• 6 tablespoons Sour Cream
• 1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
• 4 cups Powdered Sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons Milk
• 1-2 drops Red Food Coloring, Optional

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cream together the butter, oil, sugar, powdered sugar, water, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and well combined. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and cream of tartar. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition, until all of the dry ingredients have been incorporated into the dough.
2. Roll the dough into golf ball-size balls and place them 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet. Dip the bottom of a glass (about 2 1/2 inches wide) in some granulated sugar and then press down on one of the cookie dough balls until it is 1/2” thick. This will leave a flat middle section with the signature rough edge. Repeat with the rest of the cookie dough balls.
