Now, it’s time to bake your cookies! Bake them according to your recipe.

Sugar Cookie Tip: Freeze for 5-10 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape inside the oven.

Use the black royal icing to pipe an outline around Darth Vader’s head.

Flood the piped outline with black icing.
