They are so cute & fun and the boys couldn't wait to use them. I promised them that I would get cookie dough and we would make them, and darn if those kids didn't remember! Let me just state for the record that cooking with kids is not my most shining moment. The little hands reaching, touching and grabbing everything, the mess...
So, I got some cookie dough...
I hope you weren't thinking that we were going to make cookie dough from scratch. That would have just sent me over the edge. Did I dream this, or isn't there cookie dough that comes in sheets (like pie crusts) that you can unfold and start cutting out cookies? I couldn't find it at Kroger's, but really, wouldn't that be a dream?!?!
Anyway, we made due with this. The three of us mashed all of the preformed cookies together to make a ball of dough, and then (heart palpitations) had to get out the flour to roll the dough out. Two boys + an open container of flour = disaster! At one point, Jack grabbed a fistful of flour and started to walk away from the table. I nipped that in the bud right quick!
We got the dough rolled out and it was time to cut out the cookies.
Now, aren't these cute?
Yoda, Boba Fett, Stormtrooper and Darth Vader
The moment Jack and Will had been waiting for...
eating the leftover dough
{tisk, tisk} Pillsbury, Pillsbury, Pillsbury...
But that is the best part!
11 short minutes later, Tah Dah!
They looked good, but had spread some in the oven causing them to lose the sharpness of the stamped details. Any way to prevent the spreading? Was the dough too thin? Please advise.
We bypassed the elaborate decorating as shown on the box, because, please people!, I would have been in hysterics. But maybe next time?
Yeah, probably not!

They look good! I'm proud of Jack and Will. They did a good job. And you did too for letting them make them!
=) Thanks for the cookie cutters!
I've been eyeing those cookie cutters for a year. Owen loves Star Wars, and I think he's going to recruit Aurelia into the Rebel Alliance.
To keep them from spreading, make sure your dough and cookie sheet are cold. After cutting them out, if the dough is soft and close to room temperature, pop the whole cookie sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Also, stoneware seems to help somewhat with dough spreading out. Pizza stones are perfect for cookies.
Oh, I have been waiting for you to chime in...I knew you would have the answer!
You nailed my problem. The dough was very soft; in fact, it was somewhat difficult to transfer them from the floured cookie pan to the cookie sheet. And the cookie sheet was not cold either. Next time, I'll pop them in the fridge for good measure.
I think the Easter bunny needs to bring these cookie cutters in Owen's basket!
