These are the cookies I grew up with my entire life. My mom would make these once a month for us. She loved them plain, and I loved them with icing. I'm finding on pinterest the recipe is being called "Swig Sugar Cookies". I've never heard of Swigs, but my Mom grew up in the area where Swigs is, so maybe she got it from them. I have no idea. All I know is that this recipe is my personal favorite sugar cookie recipe that I have on my blog. Seriously, they are amazing!!

Grease your cookie sheet, and get a plate that has 1/4 C. of Sugar dumped on top. Then roll your cookies into golf ball size balls. Place on the cookie sheet, and then grab a glass cup. Using the bottom of your glass firmly press into the sugar/salt mixture on your plate. Using the bottom of the glass press on the top of the cookie until it flattens to about 1/2in and resembles a flower because the sides will break apart. Do this with every cookie re-dipping your glass into the sugar and salt each time.
Bake for 8 minutes or until the bottom of your cookies are just lightly browned. Serve plain or with sour cream icing. (The Swig cookies you serve cold, I've never tried it but I bet it would be amazing!)
