Oreo Cookies

Summer days in DC had been over 100F. As you can imagine, I have been away from the oven. But the kids love to have projects in the kitchen. I went and got some Oreo cookies and decorated them with three different icing. I am actually thinking of decorating some for the sweet tables I create. It would be fun to follow the colors of the party and even the design.
Here my first try...

Star Wars cookies

I had a request for some Star Wars treats for a birthday party. I remember I read in bakerella's blog about the Star Wars cookie cutters from William Sonoma. I run to the store and grabbed them. That's how my new baking adventure started. It was fun!

I decided to follow the cookie recipe from the box...

The dough But, I was not very happy with the result. The cookies were puffy and soft.


I tried a different recipe. You can find a good one in Glorious Treats. I got a new batch of good, flat, crispy sugar cookies, exactly what I was looking for.


And ...here they are...Star Wars cookies!

From the four characters, my favorite...Darth Vader.


If you have some questions, let me know. I will be more that happy to share my baking and decorating experience.
