Day 5 Star Wars Character Christmas Cookies #12daysofStarWars


Hey all! I'm already onto the 5TH DAY OF STAR WARS! 

Star Wars Character Christmas Gingerbread Cookies!  

These are cookies from last year but I couldn't resist adding them to the countdown.  I love the little Santa hats on my favorite characters - Yoda (always Yoda), Darth Vader, Storm Troopers, and Boba Fett, everyone's favorite bounty hunter.


These cookies are also my favorite flavor cookie of all time - gingerbread.  I used SW cookie cutters for this but you could probably just as easily cut their basic shape out of the dough.  


The Santa hats are cut out of the dough freehand and attached before baking.  Use a little melted candy melts/chocolate to add the details along with some christmas sprinkles.


These cookies are pretty perfect for the movie month AND Christmas season.  There are only 7 more days to go! WOOO!

Stop back everyday for another Star Wars treat or follow along on FacebookInstagram and/or Twitter! #12daysofStarWars @sugarswings
