Cookie Project

[przed]

With the ice show done, I thought there might be some relaxing in order, or dealing with the clutter that's crept into the house in the last few weeks.

Instead we ended up working on a purely fun project. The Sweetie's work is having a May the Fourth Be With You party tomorrow, and he volunteered to bring some Star Wars cookies. The Sweetie made the cookie dough, I turned it into cookies (I love sugar cookies, but man, they are a pain in the arse to roll out), I put together some designs, and then we all did our best to make some round cookies look like various Star Wars characters.

Full points if you figure out who/what they're all supposed to be. *g*

Four out of five! Because I'm *never* going to get that one on the right (and I've only seen the first three movies... I know, I know).

The little one on the right is suppose to be the Death Star. A very, very abstract Death Star. (My first attempts at that design looked like nipples, so I'm okay with the finished version being unrecognizable. *g*)

As for only having seen the first three movies, I wish I could say the same. :-/

Okay, then I did guess right, but I wasn't sure, so I didn't say Death Star. It looks too cute. lol

Chibi Death Star! :D

Artistic Death Star is artistic! And at a distance, so.

Well, they look like they were fun, at any rate. Hope they were a huge hit!

(Tempting fate, but was The Sweetie inspired by this to think up more potential fic?)

Iced sugar cookies are one of my favorite cookies! Absolutely adorable. R2, a stormtrooper, C3PO, Darth and...?

Sugar cookies are yummy, though a bit fiddly to work with. You got 'em all! (Must mean our efforts weren't completely off. *g*)

[dine.livejournal.com]

those are awesome cookies - what a treat for the partygoers!

[przed.livejournal.com]

We were pleased with how they turned out. Hopefully they're enjoyed.

Um, R2D2, Stormtrooper, C3PO, Darth Vader, and the Death Star? Whoever each is, I'm sure they were delicious.

I used to have a time rolling out sugar cookies until I bought a rolling pin that has attachments so that the dough rolls out evenly. I don't know what I'd do without it now.

[przed.livejournal.com]

You got 'em!

Oh, I didn't know about those attachments. Shall have to get a set! Though apart from the evenness, what I find difficult is striking a balance between the dough being too cold to work with and too warm to hold together.

Very clever cookies! I'll bet they go down a treat.

[przed.livejournal.com]

I hope they shall!

Five out of five - can I get a fangirl badge! *g* They look both awesome and delicious. Hmmm, maybe I should make some cookies, I've got a raisin shortbread recipe I've been meaning to try...

[przed.livejournal.com]

You definitely get a fangirl badge. Or virtual cookie!

The raisin shortbread recipe sounds good. Well, to me, anyway. (The Sweetie calls raisins unhappy grapes. He isn't what you'd call a fan. *g*)

Wow! How brilliant is that? I am really impressed. (And I guessed all but the Death Star, which I really ought to have guessed.) Enjoy the day!

The Death Star is a bit... tenuous. *g* They're not perfect, but it was a fun project. And now I want to get some more decorating supplies and see what else we can do. Though given that I should avoid sugar, getting into cookie and cake decorating probably isn't the smartest thing I could do. ;-)

I got 'em all - do I get a gold star (or a Death Star *g*)?!! They're fantastic - I particularly like Artoo. Bet they're delicious too!

[przed.livejournal.com]

You definitely get a gold star! (No Death Stars for my friends!) Artoo was the fiddliest one. Though my Darths went wrong. They looked a bit sad. The picture is the Sweetie's Darth; he managed a properly menacing cookie. It's a yummy recipe, though I haven't had any. (Having a reaction to sugar at the moment, so I'm going to exercise restraint and not have any.)

Really awesome cookies! I got 4 out of 5, didn't get the Death Star. But now when I know the answer it 's pretty obvious ;)

[przed.livejournal.com]

Thanks! The Death Star was a bit tenuous, not to mention tiny. *g*

[saintvic.livejournal.com]

Oh my the cookies are fabulous and I managed to get tham all although the Death Star was a bit of a guess.

[przed.livejournal.com]

Thanks and congrats! I have to say I'm relieved that people have mostly figured out what they are. (Ros thought C3P0 was a minion. I can see her confusion. *g*)
