Ingredients
Cookies:
- 1 cup butter softened
- ¾ cup canola oil
- 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cream of tarter
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 5 cups flour
Frosting:
- ½ cup butter softened
- ½ cup light sour cream
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 4 ¾ cups powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a bowl, cream together the butter, canola oil, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, water, and vanilla extract. Then add in eggs and blend to combine.
- Add in the baking soda, cream of tarter, and salt. Blend to combine.
- Then add in cocoa powder and flour. Blend just until combined,
- Shape dough into golf ball sized balls. Place 6-8 on your cookie sheet depending on how large it is. Then dip the bottom of a drinking glass in sugar and then press the golf ball sized dough down until about 1/2 inch thick and the edges get that crinkly effect.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. This is a little tricky because the cookie will look under done. they really don’t get any color to them. They will just look firm. Do not over bake.
- Allow cookies to cool and then refrigerate for true Swig style.
- For the frosting, cream the butter, sour cream, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla together until well blended. If you need to you can add a little milk if needed. I didn’t think it needed any. Makes 24 cookies.
