Cookie Scoop or Roll the dough into 1- inch balls and place on a greased cookie sheet.

Use a cooking spray on the cookie sheet.

Get a glass or measuring cup then dip into a plate coated with a thin layer of sugar.

Press each ball down slightly to get the rough edge that SWIG Cookies are known for.

You don’t want to smash them too thin because these cookies are best when they are thick and soft.

Cool on wire racks and then frost.
