21 Cookies Dad Requests by Name Every Single Weekend

Weekend baking gets easier when the cookie requests are already known by name. These 21 cookies cover lemon, chocolate, caramel, fruit, Biscoff, cinnamon, pecan, mint, and frosted bakery-style bakes that can make the same tray show up again and again. The mix includes copycat cookies, filled cookies, sandwich-style bakes, chilled doughs, fruit cookies, and classic cookie-jar choices. Use the list when Dad wants the weekend batch to feel familiar, but still worth asking for before the oven even warms up.
