I have a weakness for sweets but more than that cookies. Cookies are my soft spot. Iced cookies? Well, those are a little bit of sunshine in a perfect little bundle. Don’t you agree? What’s your favourite type of cookie? Mine are similar to these right here – iced and sweet and soft cookies. Yum! Swig cookies are pretty famous but you can make your own now with this copycat variation on a traditional cookie.
You can tell with these ones that they will be soft and delicious as soon as you read the list of ingredients. Sour cream makes things so moist and flavourful sometimes.
Looking good so far! You won’t be able to stop at just one with these.
