10 Delicious Desserts to Say "I Love You, Dad"

Potbelly Cookies

We’re not saying your dad has a potbelly, but if he does, he won’t be able to stop it from jiggling when he laughs at these adorable cookies! You can use your favorite sugar cookie recipe but slice-and-bake cookie dough or store-bought sugar cookies, large or small, work well too. All you have to do is mix up a batch of royal icing in order to “pipe and flood” the simple design on the cookies. You don’t even need a piping bag: for this simple design, a Ziploc bag with a tiny hole cut in one corner works beautifully.
