I worked for an amusem*nt park for 9 days just until the school kids got out of school. Let me tell you, i have a whole new respect for the kids that work there all summer.

And I have a new respect for all of the people that work fast food! It is hard work to stand on a hard floor for that many hours day in and day out! One day, I will buy some inserts for someone that doesn’t have the best of shoes that works in fast food. I would come home at night and my feet hurt so bad. I am older than they are, but feet are kind of a big deal.

What are Chocolate Swig Cookies with Cookie Dough Frosting?

  • Chocolate Swig Cookies are basically a chocolate sugar cookie.
  • They were inspired by the cookies that a place called Swig makes, but they call their cookies Dirt Balls.
  • I love cookie dough and frosting, so I decided that I would make these cookies even better by adding a Cookie Dough Frosting!

So one day I got to work at 9:15 a.m. We had school kids come that were celebrating their Senior year and we had a lot of schools come to the amusem*nt park. The kids would come starting at 10:30 a.m. and leave at 3:00 p.m. One day, we made 800 drinks with pop! Wow, that is a lot of pop and boy was I tired when I got home.

I grew up on a farm and we were poor. When we ate out 2 times a year, we would order the cheapest thing on the menu and we always ordered water. Also we would never think about paying $3.00 for a cookie. That being said, sometimes it is just fun to get to have a pop and a cookie once or twice a year!

  • Chocolate Swig Cookies with Cookie Dough Frosting freeze well, just wait until you are ready to serve them to frost them, so that they do not go soggy.
  • If you want a more milk chocolate cookie, use 1/3 cup cocoa instead of the 2/3 cup.

They are tired and it is hard work that they are doing. I am glad that they are working and taking care of the rest of us.

      I can’t use coconut oil due to my daughters allergy. Although I’m not a huge fan, would shortening work?

      I tried this. Cooked for 11 minutes. I had to add a very tiny amount of corn syrup to top of cooled cookies to get the icing to stick. This worked very well. My icing was rather dry and stiff as well, so I probably used 6 or 7 teaspoons of milk. I recommend supporting your cookies on your flattened hand while icing in case they are breakable like mine were. My recommendations are also to add a pinch or 2 of salt to the icing and use dark brown sugar if you want an extra cookie dough taste, and use a heaping measurement of cocoa in the cookies because… well, chocolate. These were amazing!! Thank you!
