They Got Me
The other day I was doing a little impromptu shopping. I had already spent more than I wanted and I was about to pass the Williams-Sonoma store. I said to myself. “Walk faster. Faster. Don’t look in. You don’t need anything else. Whatever you do…
…don’t stop…
Don’t look in the …”
Dang. They got me.
I really tried not to go in, but how could I be complete without these Star Wars Cookie Cutters. I knew if I left empty handed, I’d wish I had bought them in the off chance someone I know wants Boba Fett cookies one day. So I went in, telling myself the whole time I would just have a peek. I can resist.
I can resist so well that I only bought two. One for me and one for you. Okay, one for one of you.
Now, I like to bake to go along with a giveaway if I can, but I knew I wouldn’t have enough time to make and pipe these this weekend and I just couldn’t wait to show you these cutters. Plus, my piping skills might deter you from wanting to try them. Piping royal icing is a skill I need to work on, but the way to go if you’re up for it. They’d still be super cute just like this photo from the back of the box, though.
The cutters have plungers that make impressions in the sugar cookie dough as you cut shapes.
You can whip up some Storm Troopers…
A Dark Lord perhaps.
Maybe some Boba Fett’s just so you can say the name over and over.
And you have to make Yoda, of course. Make him you should. And eat him you shall.
But… but wait… where’s Chewbacca and R2-D2? What’s up with that? I want to nibble on a little Wookiee. And maybe a little Harrison Ford.
They need a second edition. Fingers crossed.
The set comes packaged in a cute box with a recipe for cookies and icing.
Besides the kiddies going gaga for these, I think it would make a great gift for Daddy’s Day. Well, it might make some Daddy’s Day, not all.
Find them at Williams-Sonoma or…

Oh man… your Star Wars stories were a real treat to read. So fun. Thank you for sharing. Wish I could give you all a set of these cutters. But I only have one set to give away and that one is going to Commenter 3034.
shannonwilli – congrats and tell your husband to brush off his yoda costume. Fun times ahead.
I actually don’t know ANYTHING about Star Wars, but my husband loves it and would love anything made with these! :)
I had a TON of Star Wars figures and i am a woman (girl at the time). Would play with all my cousins. I liked Darth Vadar the best! LOL
i love star wars more than anything, these are so cutee!
my parents met on a blind date–and that blind date was going to see ’empire strikes back”! the movies have always been special to me in that way. :)
Me and my boyfriend have bonded spending many hours playing the Xbox game “Star Wars Battlefront 2”. I’m not a huge Star Wars fan (he is), or a video game girl (he is too), but I LOVE that game. I would love to get these cookie cutters to make cookies for him! So fun!
My secret: I’ve never watched Star Wars!
I love Star Wars- the originals, not the prequels. So many great lines. My favorite thing, though, is probably the John Williams Score. When I hear the music I just get all nostalgic. My favorite is the music played when Luke is looking at the moons at night in the original.
Anyway- love the cookie cutters!
R2-D2 is easily my favorite. My husband even bought me the LEGO figure of him online! I plan on getting the pancake molds from Williams-Sonoma.
Oh my. I would have had to go right in and get a set too! (and I WILL get a set if I don’t win!)
My husband & brother in law would just flip if I made these for them! They are both huge fans. Last year for Christmas I got the brother in laws wife a Star Wars cookbook so she could make him stuff. :)
My sons have both recently become huge Star Wars fans and they’ve never seen teh movies! Thanks to Clone Wars and Lego Starwars for the Nintendo DS.
On my desk at work, I have a talking Yoda and Darth Tater (Mr. Potato Head dressed up as Darth Vader).
I always thought it was cool how Mace Windu had the only purple lightsaber!
My husband LOVES Star Wars. We have a very large replica of the death star made out of legos sitting on our desk and about 7 lego space ships on the shelf above. Our three-year old is already in to playing with them so I see much Star Wars and many legos in my future. These would go well with that!
My husband would love these! We have a replica light saber and I don’t even know how many figurines.
I was never in to Star Wars until I had my son. He’s 7. We go to Disneyland and he’s in to the Star Tours thing and the Darth Vader thing where they train little Jedis or whatever. I would love to make these little cookies for him! ADORABLE!
My husband is actually a HUGE Star Wars fan. When we started dating (in high school) three walls of his room were covered with Star Wars figurines. I would love to win these to make him cookies.
The boyfriend and I wholeheartedly agree that we enjoyed the original 3 movies more than the newer 3 (although I’ve only seen 2 of the newer ones). These would be so much fun to have!
I would love to win these for my nephew. He and his parents are Star Wars crazy and they would go nuts over these cookies! Thanks for the chance!
Oh the Star Wars fan in my house is definitely my husband. He still has all his old figurines, much to my chagrin!
My boyfriend is obsessed with Star Wars and he was upset that I haven’t seen the 3 original so recently he made me watch 4 & 5 and we’re watching #6 soon. He’s turning me into a star wars fan! =)
I used to play Star Wars with the boys in my neighborhood growing up. Since I was the only girl, I *always* got to be Leia.
My brother NEEDS to have these in his life. He still has his R2D2 lamp that he got when he was 6. Let’s see… Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw in the theater AND the first movie we watched on our brand new VCR years later. And when they re-released them (before the prequels came out), I was in college and camped out all night for opening night tickets (for each of them, so 3 times). Oh, and of course, I was Leia for Halloween when I was about 5. Super freaking cute.
If I won these, I would be the coolest Mama EVAH! My 7 y.o. son has recently become obsessed with all things Star Wars. As a matter of fact, we just bought one of the HUGE Lego Star Wars sets…..and it’s spread out all over the kitchen island.
Oh my goodness my husband would love these….and I mean absolutely love them. If I don’t win I might have to go and buy some for his birthday next month!
Return of the Jedi, best one! I love Star Wars!!
I am the biggest Star Wars geek there is! Well, maybe not the biggest in the whole world, but I am a huuuuuge fan. My heart will always belong to the original trilogy, but my nephew, who’s 5, has become a fan because of the new Clone Wars TV show. Someday I’ll introduce him to the real good stuff.
I would love to make Star Wars cookies for my dad for father’s day!!
I always wanted Princess Leah hair….maybe I still do
My husband and I saw these at the store while shopping last weekend. He’s a big Star Wars geek and had to stop and check them out. I’d love to surprise him with his own set!
This is awesome!! We’re in love with the Lego Star Wars games here!
Too cute!!! I love that my dog makes noises like Chewie! He’s a great dane/mastiff mix and I am always says I shoulda named him “Chewie” but didn’t want to give him any ideas!!
I’m not the biggest Star Wars fan, but I was in Target and they had a stuffed Yoda. I couldn’t pass it up. He hangs out on top of the bookshelf in the living room so he doesn’t get bitten by our dog.
I hope I win!
This reminds me of my husband, his nick name is “Wookie Chest hair”. Too bad they don’t have a wookie cookie cutter!
I frequently call my husband a nerf herder ;)
My boyfriend loves Star Wars and sugar cookies. I just like sugar cookies. Hey, cookie sounds a lot like wookie. Aren’t there wookies in Star Wars?
I have many good memories of my brother and I playing the Eewok Game.
As a kid my dad got me hooked on Star Wars, and I’ve been hooked ever since!!
I even had Star Wars pod Racing for N64!
I remember watching the movie in the theater when it first came out. That year, my brother got all sar wars toys for presents and we played with them for hours. Now my son has a huge collection. He prefers the galactic heroes toys, the ones that look a bit cartoony with really big feet. He also loves his star wars legos! He wants his next birthday party to be star wars themed. Cool giveaway, thanks so much for having it. I’d love to see your finished product!
My husband is a huge fan of Star Wars and would flip for some star wars cookies.
My favorite memory of Star Wars was Princess Lea’s hair! I so wanted my hair to do like her’s with the brown cinnamon rolls on each side of her head! Her hair was the greatest!!
I love the original trilogy so much, but Empire Strikes Back is my fave! My favourite character isn’t in the movies, she’s only in the books: Mara Jade.
We used to watch the three original Star Wars movies every year on Thanksgiving.
How fricken awesome!!! My husband and son would LOVE to eat “force” cookies!! And I 100% agree, they need a Harrison Ford cookie cutter. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
My husband and BIL are ALL about some Star Wars, I know about a few things but they would love to get cookies made out of these!
My brother is convinced that he became a Star Wars fan in the womb. His mom went to see the first movie while pregnant with him and he says it was so amazing it made that deep of an impression on him. Of course I was forced to watch all the Star Wars movies over and over and over again growing up with him. It’s a fun thing that we share :)
Han Solo is not only my favorite SW character, he’s my favorite character in film – PERIOD.
No one better than an unbelievably gorgeous scoundrel with a heart of gold.
Oh my goodness, those are just adorable! Must have! I’m partial to Han Solo myself, as a young Harrison Ford just gets me. That said, the Ewoks make me giggle, so I’d love to see an Ewok cookie, too!
Oh, my!!! These are AWESOME!!!! We are Star Wars freaks! LOVE them all!!
These cookies look awesome! I first watched Star Wars a year ago!
“Do. Or do not. There is no try.”
Longtime fan of Star Wars. My favorite is the first, however corny it may be. I want these because of a certain couple little ones whose hearts would be completely won over by my SW-cookie-making powers- little cousins A. and E.
May the force be with me in winning this giveaway.
My favorite character is Yoda- I love the way he talks and I had a cat that kind of looked like him. My husband would love this set!!! Thanks for the chance to win.
My husband had a stuffed ewok growing up. He would LOVE these.
Pick me, pick me….
I love Yoda. I love those cookie cutters and almost bought them the other day, instead I got the Star Wars pancake molds.
My brother in law LOVES LOVE LOVES star wars. He and his wife had a star wars reception.
star wars was the bestest movie ever made i just love the cookie cuters
I’ll be totally honest- any attempt from friends to get me to watch the first couple installments- I fall asleep! But if it helps (which it totally doesn’t), I love Spaceballs, haha!
I am a girl who LOVES Star Wars married to a man who could care less. ha :) I was raised on the movies, I own Star Wars Trivial Pursuit, and yoda brings me much joy. I did not realize that EVERYONE didn’t like Star Wars until college, and still made it my floor theme when I was an RA (the girls didn’t mind when they got their cute Yoda Sweatshirts with the SLogan “the force is strong with this one”. I now work with children full time, and this helps me form an instant bond with the boys. It’s cheesy to say, but Star Wars has really made my life more enjoyable in the most nerdy, lovable, and tangible of ways. :)
My mom says I saw Return of the Jedi before I was born. That doesn’t count. I didn’t see Star Wars until it was re-released in the 1990s.
OOH!! I just saw these the other day when checking out the Star Wars Pancake Molds. This would be such a great way to introduce my 4 and 2 year olds to the realm of Star Wars!! Please let the force be with me…
I have loved Star Wars since I saw Episode IV when I was a teenager!
Oh my gosh. My Brother is OBSESSED with Star Wars. This would earn me the title of Best Sister Ever for pretty much the rest of my life. Fingers crossed!!
apart from how the characters look like, i know nothing about star wars..
Everyone close to me is some level of Star Wars nerd. I just like Ewoks because they speak Tagalog. =)
It looks like the force was strong with WS that day.
The are super cool. I just saw a wedding cake that was made to look like an AT-AT and had Admiral Akbar and Mon Moth as the cake toppers.
As for a fav character, can you really pick one? they all have there charms, though SO and I love wandering up to each other and exclaiming “its a Trap!”
My grandson has discoverded Star Wars and would love cookies like these made by his Grandma
I *love* Star Wars! A month or two ago, I watched all six movies in (story) chronological order. My favorite character at the moment is Obi-wan (Ben) Kenobi.
Oh my god, you would be a life saver! It’s my little brother’s birthday in 7 days and I still do not know what to get him! He is a huge starwars fan (and a great baker. Actually the only good one in the family…) but I always thought that it would be a bit lame to get him a star wars themed shirt. And what would be cooler then these cookie cutters. Thank you so much for a chance to win this!
I’m a Yoda fan! :D You reminded me to go watch Star Wars again! :D
My 5 year old LOVES Star Wars. My husband was a huge fan so it kind of rubbed off on the little one, They watched the movies together, played with toys together, it was their thing big-time bonding. In fact, the first movie we took our son to was Star Wars:Revenge of the Sith wearing his “Who’s your Daddy?” Darth Vader onesie. Granted he was only 4 weeks old and slept through the whole thing but he was there! Oh yes we must have these! :)
Love Yoda, I do. Ummm….is it weird that I like the movies more than my husband!?! Yes? Okay, then I won’t say it.
I love the original star wars movies. my brothers wore out the movies when i was a kid i always wanted to be princess laya
I used to dress up like Princess Lea when I was a little girl. I had really long hair and would braid it and roll it into two buns. Good times!
Oh, my best friend’s little guy would LOVE these!
Making a Death Star cake tomorrow. Wish I had these!
My boyfriends a member of the 501st Imperial Costuming Organization. I desperately want this set to take on troops for the other Stormtroopers!
I spent every Christmas for years looking for new Star Wars Men for my brother. I would love to make these cookies for him.
my dad’s love for star wars is immense. these would rack up some major daughter points for me….
just sayin.
:)
Oh my goodness, my 5 year old saw these with me(he loves checking out the cake bites) and went CRAZY. He is a Star Wars nut.(the origionals, not so much the prequels) He was Luke for halloween last year and still wears his costume all the time. His favorite though is “Dark” Vadar. He’s already picked his costume for this year. He also loves to cook with his sister and I and would have a blast with those cookie cutters.
My favorite character isn’t in this cookie cutter set, but I would still definitely eat some Star Wars cookies! I <3 Princess Leia!
I haven’t seen Star Wars in years but now that I have a little boy it seems as though I will be revisiting this legendary movie from my childhood in the very near future. He has no clue what Star Wars is but we walk past anything Star Wars and he’s sucked in!
My husband LOVES all things star wars! He would love cookies made from these!!!
deonemily@gmail.com
so cute and cool! my random fact – the star wars theme song will unfailingly get any other song thats stuck in your head out and, if sung slowly enough, will not replace it
My best friend’s boy loves Star Wars… Would love to suprise him with these!!
SO. COOL. How about an ewok in the 2nd set?? I think they’re my favorite!
I had never seen star wars until I started dating my boyfriend, but now I’m a fan. Sort of. He is, anyway.
EVEN if I don’t win them, I will still be buying them!
Yoda is the bomb.
My husband would love Star Wars Cookies!!
How awesome! I could definitely get some use out of Star Wars cookie cutters.
Last year for Halloween I made my husband a jedi costume because he looks so much like Obi-Wan a la Ewan McGregor. We visited some friends that night (in costume) and one of them went crazy over it. He put on his Star Wars LP and the jedi robe and danced to the disco version of the Star Wars theme for quite a while. So of course, when his birthday rolled around in January, I knew exactly what to give him.
I watched the entire series with my boyfriend when he stayed with me while my dad was in the hospital. It was such a good distraction from everything that was happening at the time. I would love to be able to make him some Star Wars cookies! =)
Today, someone showed me this Star Wars-y video on YouTube! I thought it was awesome.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmTpOQrqoO0
I loveee Star wars goods! Even though I’ve never watched the actual movies, I still have a favorite character, Yoda
I have a starwars-themed shirt that says Stop Wars in that starwars font, but it shrunk in the washer so I can’t wear it anymore :( booo
These are awesome! I’m still working on watching the Star Wars movies. I’ve started with the first one and am working towards the 6th. I am one of those people that decided it’s worth watching them in order. :-P LOL! My favorite character is Princess Leia.
I hope they have them in Canada. My son is a huge Star Wars fan and would love those cookies.
My daughter would faint!!! She’s the biggest Star Wars fan out there… has been Darth for Halloween for 4 straight years. Gotta love it!
I have always liked the original three movies, but my husband is a true fanatic. ONCE thought, I actually beat him at Star Wars Trivial Pursuit! It was a dark day for the rebellion.
My husband LOVES Star Wars and he would really get a kick out of these! Thanks for the great giveaway!
we were expecting twins when star wars came out; so i’d have to say luke and leah!
Empire strikes back is my all time favorite movie, and tomorrow happens to be the 30 year anniversary of its release! I would LOVE these cookie cutters, just for me, me and me!!
