Instructions
Sugar Cookies
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or use a nonstick baking sheet. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, combine butter, oil, sugar, powdered sugar, and water. Cream together. Slowly add in eggs.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Mix well. Slowly add to the butter-sugar mixture until combined and doughy.
- Roll dough into golf-ball-sized balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Dip the bottom of a glass into excess sugar and press on each dough ball to flatten the cookie. Redip the glass for each cookie. Press lightly because you don't want your cookie to be too thin.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the bottom is lightly golden brown. Do not overbake.
- Let cookies remain on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
- Cream together butter, sour cream, and salt.
- Slowly add powdered sugar and mix until desired consistency; you may not need it all.
- Add milk to thin if needed.
- Mix in food coloring to the desired hue.
- Spread over cooled cookies and serve!
Notes
- Keep the sugar cookies in the freezer after you bake them. When you are ready to eat a cookie, remove it from the freezer and frost it. This is what they do at Swig. The cookie is best when served ice-cold instead of at room temperature. If you've never tried eating cookies this way, pop a few in the freezer and try it. I am a fan!
- Enjoy these cookies with our homemade version of Raspberry Dream soda.
