Take-out Tuesday, Sugar Cookie Birthday Pie
NG, my son-in-law, is the nicest guy you will ever meet
He also has a major sweet tooth
So for his birthday last week, I made him a giant sugar cookie pie
And topped it with chopped peanut butter cups
I was trying to make up for the fact that for Christmas we gave CC a storage bench and Charlie Brown a play table, but they both had to be put together, and the bench was missing instructions which made it extra fun…
Then a Home Depot gift card for his birthday, which I’m sure will be used for household projects…DD had him painting the hallway the day after Christmas!
This guy deserved a cookie!
This recipe is adapted from Betty Crocker, she said to mix it with a spoon,
I’m sorry Betty, that’s way too much work so I opted for a hand mixer, but next time it will go straight into the food processor or stand mixer
Mix sprinkles into the dough and pat in into a big cookie in a springform pan or a pie plate
I used a springform pan for ease of removal
Let cookie cool completely before icing and garnishing

Wow! That’s a super original birthday gift! Looks good too
He does deserve a cookie or two Jenna! I told my hubby when he retires he needs to go into the “some assembly required” business since he’s everyone’s Mr. Fix It 🙂
P. S. Sending my condolences your way this morning after that nail biting game last night.
Congrats to Clemson! Great game!
That’s some MAJOR SWEET stuff! 🙂 But he sure deserved it! LOL!
That looks amazing!! What a great idea to make it at home. 🙂
So easy! >
That’s a great idea! And it look delish, too! (Nice mom, paybacks for the construction!)
thanks Jeanie, he was very happy! >
Jenna, he definitely deserved a giant cookie and it looks delicious. I also have a sweet tooth and got a bit carried away over the holidays! It was a tough game and I do congratulate Clemson and Dabo! RTR
What a great idea! And the photos look awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Everything’s better with sprinkles:@)
What a nice compliment for your son-in-law. I bet he thinks he got a pretty good deal, too! I’m betting the kids didn’t mind indulging in his sweet either.
Your cookie looks great and sure SIL enjoyed it.
I’m disappointed about the game 😢 also.
us too, but there’s always next year!
