- Roll the dough out on the cutting board and using the plaque cookie cutter begin to make your cookies.
- Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a metal spatula move the cut cookies to the parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Bake at 325°F for 8 minutes. Check to see if cookies are thoroughly baked.
- Take the cookies off of the cookie sheet and put on a wire rack to cool completely (approximately 10 minutes).

Royal Icing Directions:
- Combine all ingredients — except food coloring — in a mixing bowl mixing on medium speed for 4 minutes.
- If icing is not stiff enough, add 1/4 cup powdered sugar.
- Take out 2 TBSP of icing, add several drops of blue gel food coloring. Stir to mix.

- Spoon each color of icing into individual frosting bags with a #5 tips. Twist the open end of the bag to push the icing to the tip.
Princess Leia Minnie:
- Use Princess Leia cookie picture above as a reference.
- Outline each of the Minnie/Princess Leia cookies (top half) in black . Allow to dry for about 30 seconds. Fill in the top half of the cookies in with the *black thinner icing. (*Squeeze the half of the icing into a bowl then add 1 tsp of water to this and mix it in). Allow to dry. Leave rest of icing in frosting bag for later use on the cookies.
- Outline the brown hair on Princess Leia, allow 30 seconds to dry. Fill in the hair with the *thinner brown icing. (*Squeeze half of brown icing into a bowl then add 1 tsp of water to this and mix it in). Allow to dry.
- Outline bottom half of Minnie in white, then allow to dry a few seconds before filling in with *white thinner icing. Allow 30 seconds for this part to dry before moving on.
- Outline the top of Princess Leia’s dress in grey (the shape of a V) and allow 30 seconds to dry. Fill in the “V” with *thinner grey icing. (*Squeeze half of grey icing into a bowl then add 1 tsp of water to this and mix it in).
- Allow cookies to dry for 5-10 hours.
Anakin Mickey:
- Use Anakin picture above as a reference.
- Outline each of the Anakin cookies in white except for the ears and top of the V-neck. Allow to dry for about 30 seconds before filling in the cookie. Fill in where the cookie has been outlined in white with the *thinner white icing. (*Squeeze half of white icing into a bowl then add 1 tsp of water to this and mix it in). Allow to dry for about 30 seconds. Leave rest of icing in the frosting bag for later use on cookies.
- Draw a brown belt in the middle of the cookie and outline belt in brown, then fill it in. Use the thicker icing. Outline buckle on belt and detail on the shirt in grey icing and fill buckle in with thicker grey icing. Allow for it to dry for 30 seconds.
- Add a lightsaber in blue, outlining and filling in with the thicker icing across the middle of Anakin’s body. Add a small square at the bottom of lightsaber in grey, outline, then fill it in with same icing.
- Outline Mickey/Anakin’s ears and collar in black. After allowing 30 seconds for drying, fill in ears and collar in the *thinner black icing. (*Squeeze half of black icing into a bowl then add 1 tsp of water to this and mix it in).
