May the Fourth Be With You {Star Wars Day}
It’s Star Wars day my fellow cookie nerds. May the fourth be with you! I’ve been waiting for this day all year {since I missed it last year} and it’s finally here.
I made these little bitties almost two ago {where did the time go} with random mini cutters. Can you guess what they were in their previous life? If not, don’t worry because I’m about to tell you. All you need are these cutters {or anything else that works for that matter} and a paring knife.
1. Regular rectangle, sliced into strips, makes light sabers!
2.Flip ol’ Rudolph over, chop off his horns, and viola, Princess Leia!
3. With two diagonal snips, a tombstone becomes Darth Vader.
4. Spin this pumpkin a little, snip off his stem, and you have Chewbacca. (sorry the cutter is sideways…it could also be Santa, which is what I thought he was when setting up this photo.)
5. To make Yoda, decapitate a smallish gingerbread girl, and cut from under each arm into a “V”.
6. Turn Ol’ St. Nick upside down and you have a perfect Padawan!
7. This is not really a cutter, but rather a part of a cutter. This is the piece used to cut out the inside of a purse handle. I always thought this was a pretty useless cutter until now! It makes a PERFECT mini-R2!
8. Another more whimsical Santa cutter with multi-uses, turn him over and trim off the point of his hat, and he’s a storm trooper.
9. And lastly, my mini snow man face, turned upside-down and trimmed of his brim, becomes C3-PO!
Okay friends, I’ve shown you mine, now it’s time for you to show me yours! Let me see your Star Wars sweets…they can be anything, cookies, cakes, cupcakes even a party. I want to see it all!
Callye, I am not really a Star Wars fan, but I am definitely YOUR fan!!! <3 I love the minis, especially Princess Leia~SO CUTE! 🙂
Love, love, LOVE these! We are all about geek food at our house, too. 🙂 My favorite one is the gluten and dairy free yoda cake I made for my son 3 years ago. Yoda. As a cake. Hee-hee! http://angelaskitchen.com/2008/08/15/thirteen-you-are/
I have to make a tardis cake next…
This are so awesome! Thanks for showing what cutters you need to create these cookies. You have such a creative brain. I hope that, with enough reading of your blog, I’ll be able to start seeing the shapes like you do.
These are just utterly amazing. I love how you share your creative use of your cutters – I try to get my brain to look at the cutters and see other possibilities but I’m afraid it is a very slow process. Thank you so much Callie for sharing your creativity with us all. I only wish I had some star wars cookies to share with you – oh wait, I could do a star! 😀
still love these! you are the best!
This is a fab post – i lobe every single piece. I am curious to know what you thought the rest of the pieces were when you were setting up the photo!
Sure its another creative boon! Really great!
I love Star Wars, have since I was a child. Our 4 year old twins made us so completely nerdly ecstatic when I was watching Star Wars and they requested to watch it again later. Then They proceeded to watch it for a whole week. And now my little boy has Star Wars Pjs, and shirts and shoes. He walked around the last few days asking if he could eat R2D2 and I wouldn’t let him till I got my pictures. Thanks for sharing how to re use other cutters. I need to try your new ones now.. but I have a LOT of practicing to do to get them way better.. I LOVE your cookies.. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Peanut butter and jelly. Salt and pepper. Ginger and Fred. The latest epic pairing is Star Wars and cookies. I love the visual on your cutter vision. It doesn’t help me gain any myself, but I love the peek into that beautiful noggin of yours!
I love all your Star Wars cookies…..you always make them look so much fun! I linked up my Darth cupcake toppers made waaaaaayyyyy long ago; when I first started playing with royal icing….not the best but whatev’s it Star Wars Day!!!!!! Thanks for the link up 🙂
FUN!!! Love seeing all the posts for this…i linked up a few, we have major star wars freaks around here…there may or may not be a death star lego project being worked on right now 🙂
Your cookies are so cute! I wish I could make something as cute as these! I’m one of those people that would LOVE to be crafty but I just lack that talent. Thanks for sharing!
The amount of work that went into that cookie platter is crazy!
“May the fourth be with you” hahah!! You are so funny, smart, creative….I could go on forever! I love these and you inspire me to make Star Wars Cookies! Love what you do and how you do it!!
There are some amazing cookies and goodies linked up here! I am going to keep checking back to see what has been added:) This is fun!!
They are as amazing now as they were then! That’s a lot of detailing on a a little cookie. And so many different designs and colors to fill the platter!
so fun!
Would you believe that I have never seen a Star Wars movie???? The horror, I know. Cookies look awesome though! 🙂
I am so impressed with all the detail on these little (tiny) one inch cookies! Perhaps your blog title should add the word AMAZING to it. Your work certainly is!
Your minis are SO cute. Thanks for letting us all share!
We found the “icing bag holder” at our “box” store. Can’t wait to try it.
Enjoyed meeting you in person at Spring Fling. You cookies are works of art. Keep inspiring us!

These are adorable little cookies! I went to a house party just the other day for a May 4 party! The hostess started us off with sushi and soda for the meal. Afterwards, we also snaked on Star Wars cookies! It was a fun day for sure! http://www.pinkrice.com.au
