Swig Sugar Cookies
I found this recipe for Swig Sugar Cookies on Pinterest. These cookies looked amazing and the pinner said these were the best sugar cookies ever. Swig's is a little place down in St. George, Utah. Anyway, I am always looking for the very best recipes so I gave these a go.
Taste is a very subjective thing...Ryan took a bite and said these were the WORST sugar cookies he had ever tasted in his life. I took a bite and I thought, "Hmmm...these are a little different." The icing is a sour cream frosting so it has a kind of "twang" to it. The first cookie I ate I loved the cookie part (absolutely delicious!), but I wasn't so sure on the frosting. I tried another cookie later that evening when the cookie had been in the refrigerator (they say the cookie should be cold). It totally grew on me. This morning, yes, I ate one more, and I loved it! So, if you don't love them at first, they do grow on you. I think that if you have children they may enjoy the cookie better with a regular buttercream or even a cream cheese frosting. Jake was only "so so" on the icing too...but we adults liked the not overly sweet, tangy flavor.
********UPDATE: Ryan now LOVES these cookies. He likes them when they are cold and he now likes the frosting. This cookie truly does grow on you!!!!
