If you have ever been to Swig you know these Sugar Cookies are a little bit of heaven!
Swig is a little drink shack in southern Utah, St. George. I was first introduced to them a little over a year ago on a trip to Las Vegas. They are famous for these Sugar Cookies, and they are home of the “Dirty Diet Coke” and “Dirty Dr. Pepper” beverages. They also sell smoothies, Hawaiian Ice, Shaved Ice and more!
Part of the Swig Sugar Cookie allure is that they are served cold and the frosting is room temperature. They have a signature jagged rough edge that is a little crispy while the middle is soft. The Swig Shacks are very far from where I live so I was happy to come across this recipe. The Swig locations are HUGELY popular so if you find yourself there sometime plan on a pretty good wait at any given time. I was amazed at just how busy they are!
