Wookie Cookies

Tomorrow's the big day for Star Wars geeks, so tonight we prepared by creating our very own Wookie Cookies.  Okay, so that term is probably describing another type of cookie, but still, these Star Wars themed cookies turned out rather well.  Madison, Mommy and Daddy had fun in the cantina tonight, cooking up a batch to bring in to the office tomorrow.

Our friend Josh got us the cookie cutters for Christmas, and we're just now getting around to trying them out.  Check out the description on the box:

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a jedi master chef used the force to create dynamic gear for the kitchen.  These amazing tools, known as "cookie cutters," had the power to transform ordinary cookie dough into a delectable cast of galactic characters.


Today, even the youngest padawan bakers will have fun using these very same cookie cutters to create legendary Star Wars personalities - including Yoda, Darth Vader, Boba Fett and a garrison of stormtroopers.


Equipped with a spring-loaded stamp, the cutters are as swift and precise as lightsabers - and a lot easier to work with.  Use the edges to shape your cookie, then gently press the stamp into the dough to create imprinted detailing.  After the cookies come out of the oven, bring your characters to life with colorful decorations - and let the adventure begin.  May the force be with you!

Isn't that fun?  We had a great time with the cookies tonight, and even munched on a few.  Madison ate Darth Vader's head.

I think one of the highlights of the day may have been Madison's prayer tonight.


"Jesus, I love you.  Tonight we made Star Wars Cookies.  In Jesus' Name, Amen."

We were sitting there smiling, so Daddy sort of repeated what she said because it was funny.  At which point Madison blurted out, "Hey, you said the same thing as me.  That was my  prayer!"
