Do you love sugar cookies? Big, Soft, Chewy Sugar Cookies? Ones with a creamy delicious pink frosting on them?  I am a sucker for a deliciously soft sugar cookie! When I was introduced to Swig Sugar Cookies I though I had died and gone to heaven! So today I have for you my version of the famous Swig Sugar cookie! Albeit a knock off version, in my opinion a its a pretty good one!

Swig 3-aNow here are the ingredients!  You probably already have these in your pantry!
