guy gift idea- frozen cookie dough

homemade frozen cookie dough (guy gift idea!)

I am going to let y’all in on a little secret- I give Adam homemade frozen cookie dough for *almost* every holiday (birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day- cookie dough for all!).

Since it is the biggest hit ever with Adam, I tucked a ‘tube’ of frozen cookie dough into a birthday gift for one of Adam’s friends (hence- cute packaging).

And since gifts-for-guys are SO HARD (and since frozen cookie dough has worked out great for us), I thought I’d pass along the details.

I think most cookie dough recipe would work probably works, but I always make either cowboy cookies or chocolate chip cookies (both of those recipes work for sure!). To make it as user-friendly as possible for the recipient, just make the cookie dough, scoop into cookie-sized servings, place each one on a cookie sheet lined with baking paper and freeze for individual, cookie-sized servings.

For the packaging, I took a paper towel tube and sliced up one edge. Then I lined the interior with baking paper and filled the lined tube with frozen cookies.

After taping up the tube, adding tissue paper ‘wrapping’ and labeling with C-O-O-K-I-E D-O-U-G-H stickers and directions, these little gems were ready to gift!

True story- as I was typing this post, I thought of three guys that will be receiving homemade frozen cookie dough as part of their Christmas presents this year- haha!

Happy cookie dough guy gifting, friends!

New Years Cookies- yummy and sugar free

new year's cookies- yummy and sugar free (all the 'sweet' comes from bananas)

Guys, my mama introduced us to these ‘healthy’ cookies and I can’t stop making them! Not only are they super yummy, they get their ‘sweet’ from bananas and are otherwise sugar free. They’re the perfect thing to keep in the freezer for crazy school mornings, or mid afternoon snacks, or a New-Year’s-Overhaul-Approved sweet treat. Totally […]

cowboy cookies

These cowboy cookies are loaded with oats, chocolate, pecans and coconut. And maybe magic or something (they're seriously SO good)!

I could kiss Laura Bush for this cowboy cookie recipe. Y’all, it is perfection. Adam and the kids have voted these as our family’s favorite cookie. And since those three are all over the place on the favorite-taste spectrum (Pi leans towards extra sweet while the boys favor overwhelming chocolate-y desserts or something salty), and since […]

our favorite chocolate chip cookies

our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe- these are perfection!

These chocolate chip cookies are the definition of comfort food. Our mom wasn’t huge on baking (ok, mostly she wasn’t, and still isn’t, huge on sugar consumption), but I loved making these chocolate chip cookies with her. And now I make them with my kiddos and they love them. I love it. And I love […]

the yummiest oatmeal cookie recipe (with chocolate and cherries)

the most delicious oatmeal cookie recipe (with dark chocolate and tart cherries)

I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like. And this oatmeal cookie recipe is virtually foolproof- churning out chewy, delicious oatmeal cookies every single time. I love those kinds of cookie recipes. Add in dark chocolate and tart cherries and I am in heaven. Obviously, you need this information as well. It’s like a public […]

yummy orange drop cookie recipe

orange drop cookies (a not-chocolate cookie exchange option!)

These orange drop cookies were the highlight of the treat table at the Foxy Mama Baby Shower… So I did what any normal person would do and begged my co-hostess, Angie, if I could have her recipe to share on here. It’d be unfair not to. Orange Drop Cookies 2/3 c. shortening 3/4 c. sugar […]

homemade birthday cake oreo recipe

birthday cake oreo recipe

We have a pretty decent grocery store in our town in the Middleeast- I can reliably get a variety of produce, most American condiments, and cereal (though the Honey Nut Cheerios are just called Honey Cheerios and not nearly as good, and my favorite-ever plain Cheerios are non existant). Occasionally I stumble upon a stash […]
