Swig Cookies - A Copy

Swig Cookies

They are the rage here in Utah right

now with Swig stores opening up

all over and copy cat stores opening

up just as fast.

They are a traditional sugar cookie

using a touch of cream of tartar 

and powdered sugar so they melt in

your mouth.  They serve them cold

and frost them right as they come out

of the cold and it hardens the frosting.

Swig also is popular for

Dirty Docs

a Dr. Pepper with added Torani's

Coconut Syrup.

To tell you the truth, the first time

I made them I didn't like them so I

put them on a platter and sent them off

to work with Hubby.  I kept getting texts

from work saying how much they liked them.

Later my daughter made some and I really

liked them.  Alot!  I ate three in one

sitting.  She thought maybe I had used

low fat sour cream in the frosting (and 

that was probably right as I usually have 

that on hand rather than full fat - watching

the fat where I can!!!)

The frosting has sour cream and salt in it.  She only added

1/4 tsp. of salt where the recipe adds 1 tsp.  

I especially

would not want that much salt and I loved hers

so I am going to stick with 1/4 tsp salt in the frosting.

Vintage Revivals has asked that no one

print her recipe on the web so I am going to send

you over to her site to get the cookie and frosting

recipe.  Click here.

I also made them as rolled cookies

and they were good.

I also want to try the basic

cookie with an almond flavored

buttercream - yum!

But if you are looking for a 

Swig Cookie

the experts tell me these are great.

They are supposed to be cold too,

but I prefer mine room temperature,

although with the sour cream frosting

you will need to store them in the fridge.

Bake up a batch and enjoy them!

I will be posting these with
