All Hail The King This Father’s Day
This Father’s Day, grill Dad a
great meal, then “crown” him with a giant cookie for dessert.
Mom and the
kids can make the regal cookie. It’s
simple. Just press a
basic sugar cookie dough into the Crown Pan, bake and cool. The top of the crown is piped with golden
icing (white decorator icing tinted with golden-yellow color) and studded with
precious chocolate candy gems. A fluffy
white icing showcases the bottom border.
Cut into pieces to serve. It is large enough for 15 – so if Dad is also
Granddad and the extended family is celebrating with you, you’re covered.
