What are Swig Sugar Cookies
Swig sugar cookies are a cookie that became popular in Utah. The cookies are available from a popular cookie and soda shop. Since these cookies became so popular, it makes sense that I wanted to make them for myself. One bite, you will be wanting to make these cookies too.
These cookies are easier to make because it is not a traditional sugar cookie dough. These cookies are big and sweet, soft and buttery.
How to Get the Right Sized Cookies
The great thing about this dough is that you can easily size it. You can make a small batch of cookies or over one hundred! There are several ways to get the right size.
First, if you want the perfect sized cookies, you should use a cookie scoop. Not only does this make it easy to scoop out the cookie dough, it makes sure the cookies are all the same size. It makes the cookies look pretty, but it also makes sure the cookies bake correctly. As the cookies bake you do not have to worry that some are not getting baked all the way through or some are getting baked too much or burnt.
How to Store Swig Sugar Cookies
If you want to make a big batch of swig sugar cookies, just be sure that they are stored correctly. The first thing to think about is how long will the cookies last before they go bad. If you have any left over, just keep them in an airtight container. You can store them on the counter for up to three days or so. However, if you want to store them longer than that, it is better to put them in the fridge.
How Long Do Sugar Cookies Last
These cookies will last for about 3 days when you store them on the counter at room temperature. When you store them in the refrigerator the cookies will last about 7 to 10 days. You can also keep the cookies in the freezer for about 3 months.
Can These Cookies Be Frozen?
If for some reason you end up with more sugar cookies than you can eat, then they can be frozen. In my house, the only way we have extra cookies to freeze, is if I purposely make a set to freeze because we devour these cookies fast.
Just store them in an airtight container or a freezer bag and put them in the freezer. If you want to save the swig sugar cookies, make sure that they are individually wrapped so that they do not get freezer burn.
Tips for Making the Perfect Swig Sugar Cookies
There are a few tips that you can use when you make the perfect swig sugar cookies. You will need to remember these tips, and they will also help give the recipe a great flavor. By using these simple tips, you can have the best Copycat Swig Sugar Cookies ever.
Be sure that all of your ingredients are room temperature. If you try to use fridge or cold eggs it can cause your dough not to blend together well.
Do not melt the butter. While you want the butter to be softened, melting the butter will ruin the cookies.
Beat the butter, oil and sugar well. You want to take the time to beat the butter and sugar well. This gives the best consistency to the cookies.
Do not over-mix the dough once you add in the flour because this can also make the dough too hard and dense instead of soft and fluffy like a cookie should be.
Line the Cookie Sheets. You want to place parchment paper on the baking sheets. You can also use a baking mat in order to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Do not make the cookies too thin. If the cookies are too thin, the cookies will get too hard and crispy and won’t have the desired deliciousness.
Do not over bake the cookies. This is how the cookies will get brown. Take the cookies out before they start to brown.
