Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Father's Day Cookies

Julia M. Usher 5/11/1910:09 PM

Okay, why is it that fathers are so darn hard to cookie for? Theories, anyone?! All I know is that I usually experience major creative block whenever I start to think about Father's Day cookies, and I suspect I'm not the only one.

That's why we're giving Father's Day cookie-ing a headstart here on Cookie Connection with this week's Spotlight. Mother's Day isn't even over yet, so my apologies to moms for diverting the attention from them - but we need to move onto dads tout suite in order to be assured that we'll have fantabulous cookies for them in a month!

Fortunately for you, this week's roundup of Father's Day cookies offers lots of food for thought. And you'll find plenty more ideas where these came from in our Father's Day clip set! Enjoy, and congrats to this week's honorees.

#1: Lambeth-Style Photo Frame by Kanch J [EDITOR'S NOTE: One of the lovely entries in our last Practice Bakes Perfect challenge!]

#2: Thank You Typography Cookie by KillerZebras [EDITOR'S NOTE: This cookie, first posted in 2014, is making a repeat Spotlight appearance, thanks to a sudden resurgence in interest.]

And one of my personal faves (because I am pretty much a geek at heart!) . . .

#10: Geek Detail by Custom Cookies

And that's it for this week's Spotlight. Now that you're well equipped with Father's Day ideas, please relax while celebrating your moms tomorrow!

* As a reminder, a word about how the rankings are determined: The rankings are not at all subjective. In fact, they are determined essentially by you, our members, and the activity (number of views, likes, and comments) you've bestowed on each photo. The site uses a top-secret algorithm that weighs these various factors to determine which photos are trending most quickly (i.e., are the "hottest") over specified periods of time. As such, the hot list at the time of this announcement may look a little different a few hours or a day from now as more photos are added to the site.

So that no one has an unfair advantage in making it onto a hot list, the algorithm is secret even to site administrators. Only our platform developers know the code, which has been exhaustively tested by those developers and Cookie Connection staff.

All photos shown here are the courtesy (and copyright) of the designers listed.
