I thought these cookies were delicious, I used green food coloring and served them on St. Patrick’s Day. I have one question though, in your discussion about sifting the dry ingredients – Do you measure the dry ingredients (flour) before or after sifting? Thanks in advance for your help.

In reply to Elaine.

Sorry you felt they didn’t have flavor! I can’t predict or know what people’s expectations are, but I can assure you this is one of the most ‘complimented’ cookies I’ve ever made. When I bring it to events or to friends & family people always ask for the recipe or for more cookies! 🙂

While these cookies look great, they have no flavour. There is no vanilla or almond flavouring in the recipe. Neither the cookies nor the icing have any flavour. If I make them again, I would definitely add a tsp. of flavouring.

No vanilla extract? Just wondering…

Really delicious! The frosting was just superb and made the perfect foil for the delicate flavor of the cookies. My bible study group enjoyed them immensely.

The cookies were wonderful! A great copycat of Swig’s. I love that they’re soft, chewy & moist (if you don’t overcook them). So yummy!
The frosting however, wasn’t a copycat in my opinion. It tasted more like a cream cheese frosting to me–good, but not really Swig’s type of frosting.

I am surprised by some of the reviews for these cookies. I have made them multiple times now and have shared them with others. They are always a hit! I admit that I thought the recipe seemed odd with the amount of oil and the sour cream frosting but it is perfection! I bake mine for 8 minutes 🙂

I sliiiiiiightly overbaked mine but they were still delicious. I’ll bake them for a minute less next time and I think they’ll be incredible. Waiting for the edges to be slightly golden brown is probably misleading. I think it’s going to be trial and error for everyone, but having golden brown edges is too overdone, in my opinion.

Also, I would add that Swig serves their cookies chilled. We made this recipe, chilled them for an hour after frosting, and it was a game-changer. Even with a slightly overcooked cookie, they were delish! Thank you for the recipe!

I absolutely love these cookies! I’ve made this recipe three times now and it has made my permanent list of favorites. When I made them for my Mom, she loved them so much that she asked me to stop baking them because she couldn’t stop herself from eating them! Definite winner of a recipe.

I thought these were great! I found they are more like a tea cake, which I prefer. These always get compliments when I bring them to events.

I always ALWAYS weigh my ingredients, especially flour! I find that always helps!
