Star Wars cookies

My 5 year old loves Star Wars.  He has never actually seen any Star Wars movies, but there is a Star Wars early reader book at kindergarten and he seems to love it.  My brother recently gave me these cookie cutters (Thanks Dave!!) and I've been waiting for the perfect occasion to try them out.  So today, I gave them a shot.  The occasion - nothing really - just that I thought my kids needed some surprise cookies.


My starting point. I traced the cookie cutters and drew in the details that I wanted to put on each cookie.

The starting point - my cookie sketch

Here they are - Darth Vader, Yoda and R2D2,  All the piping was free hand.
