(NAPSI)-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.
