Dads are like a box of cookies…often square and on the verge of crumbling.

Help your dear old dad hold it together this Father’s Day with a delectable collection of cookies that perfectly mirrors his soft and chewy personality — no matter how unique, quirky, or eccentric he is.

For the “Traditional” dad

If your dad believes you need to dress for dinner, be in bed by 10, and get a job by junior high, introduce him to the Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookie Box. The soft and chewy cookies serve up a traditional hint of lemon and are lightly sprinkled with the right amount of sugar to soften up any old-fashioned father.

For the “Icy Old Man” dad

If your dad is a little frosty on the outside but packed with sweetness underneath, then whet his appetite with the mouthwatering Best of Buttercream Cookie Boxes. He’ll warm up to these individually wrapped cookies slathered with 10 different sweet and sour frostings, including everything from salted caramel chocolate and peanut butter buckeye to Key lime white chip and lemon burst. 

For the “What’s in a Name?” dad

If your dad calls all your friends by nicknames like Goose, Merlin, and Rooster because he can never remember any of their real names (or perhaps he just loves Top Gun), give him a gift of his own medicine with the fairy tale-titled and dream-come-true tasting Snickerdoodle Cookie Flavor Box. The cinnamon cookie has enough flavor to make him realize nobody knows who he’s talking about. Ever. 

For the “I Came Up the Hard Way” dad

If you were raised on a steady diet of “You got it easy, kid” stories of your father’s childhood, deliver tasty payback with the Rocky Road Pecan Cookie sampler. The chunky, chocked-with-chocolate-and-nuts cookies are as deliciously irresistible as the 10,000th installment of his long-walks-through-the-snow-uphill-both-ways-to-school stories!

For the “Dependable” dad

If your dad was everything you needed, just when you needed it, you can count on the dependably delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Flavor Box as a reliable taste of how to say thanks for always being there. Each of the dozen cookies is obviously, and deliciously, made with creamy butter, sweet chocolate chips, and rich brown sugar — as if you didn’t expect that already.

For the “All-Day-Long” dad

If your dad likes to finish things as strongly as he started them, he’ll love the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Gift — which takes a breakfast staple and turns it into the delicious gift that keeps on giving any time of day. These 24 scrumptious treats are stuffed with plump raisins, hearty oats, and cinnamon — ensuring a round-the-clock smile on Daddy’s face.


Cookies for Dad


For the “Obsessed” dad

If your father is as all-in as Joe Dirt at the Daytona 500, he’ll throw a rod when he gets a chance to sink his teeth into the soft, gooey, and shamelessly delectable treats that await him in the Chocolate Obsession Cookie Flavor Box. Depending on how much he loves chocolate, you might also want to consider the Devils Food Chocolate Frosted Cookie Flavor Box, or take it to another level with the Triple Chocolate Cookie Flavor Box: chocolate cookies with chocolate chips, topped with chocolate fudge frosting. One bite and he’ll realize that somewhere between love and madness lies cookies…

For the “Peter Pan” dad

If your dad was inhaling bowls of cereal and watching cartoons with you every Saturday morning, serve up the sweet taste of youth with a Fruity Cereal Cookie Flavor Box. He’ll want to dive back into the deliciously sweet, fruit-flavored, bite-sized memories of those happy Saturdays spent with Sleestaks.
