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
