FATHER’S DAY GIFT GUIDE SUGGESTION
It’s almost Father’s Day and you have the perfect gift, the kids have made their cards, dinner is planned and all you are missing is a delectable dessert for Dad. After having had the opportunity to try a Barbara’s Cookie Pies, I can honestly say I have found that dessert!
Hand-made from a family recipe that has been passed down for three generations, Barbara’s Cookie Pies are more than just a cookie and more than just a pie…in fact, they are both!
Made from scratch in small batches, each gourmet cookie pie is hand-pressed and hand-decorated using only the highest quality ingredients. The all-natural butter cookie dough forms the crust, then each is filled with delicious cookie and candy toppings.
With flavors ranging from Almond Joyful Cookie Pie to Toffee Almond Cookie Pie and everything in-between, trying to choose a flavor was a mouth-watering chore! After much debate, I finally decided to try the Peppermint Patty Cookie Pie, and I am glad I did!
The Cookie Pie arrived shortly after I had placed my order, and was in the prettiest packaging I have seen. Barbara’s Cookie Pies offers a Holiday Gift Wrap Program where the cookie pie arrives in a Gift Box with an imprinted holiday ribbon, a personalized card and a unique, hand-made WISHBOW (a good luck charm that comes with a personalized wish for the recipient – instructions are included) that is customized for each holiday.
They offer it for every holiday and occasion you can thin of. With Father’s Day right around the corner, mine arrived packaged prettily in a Father’s Day green and blue theme. It was so beautiful, I hated to open it to try the cookie pie!
Once opened you could smell a pleasant peppermint aroma. The cookie pie is a pretty good size, about 7″ in diameter and a little less than an inch thick. The Peppermint Patty Cookie Pie consists of their butter cookie dough on both the top and bottom with a thin layer of cool mint cream sandwiched in the middle with the whole pie encrusted with a dark chocolate drizzle.
Biting into a slice, I found the cookie to be not exactly chewy, but not too hard either. The taste is amazing! Imagine the buttery taste of the cookie crust combined with a rich smooth chocolate with a bite of refreshing mint. Definitely a great combination!
After having my first taste of these delicious hand-made treats, I cannot wait to try one of the other 17 flavors! Each pie costs $19.50 and is big enough for several servings. Barbara’s Cookie Pies also sells cookie pie squares and gourmet butter cookies, as well as the option to Make Your Own where you can purchase the essentials you need to make your Barbara’s Cookie Pie at home.
This Father’s Day give Dad the delicious treat of a gourmet Barbara’s Cookie Pie!
