Star Piñata Sugar Cookies Recipe - Tablespoon.com image

These sugar cookies are filled with a sweet surprise (mini chocolate candies) and are sure to add fireworks to your celebration!

Provided by Michelle P

Total Time 5 hours 0 minutes

Prep Time 1 hours 0 minutes

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 rolls (16.5 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated sugar cookie dough
Red and blue gel food coloring
3/4 cup all purpose flour
White frosting or a mixture of 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and two teaspoons of milk
M&M's® red and blue mini chocolate candy - I bought a bag of mixed and separated out the colors

Steps:

  • Open one package of cookie dough, add a bit of red gel food coloring to the dough. I found that it's easiest to mix the coloring in with your hands, kneading it gently, like bread dough. Add the food coloring a little at a time, until you have a vibrant red dough.
  • Next place the dough ball in a bowl, and add 1/4 cup flour and mix until combined. It seems a little backward, but I found the food coloring mixed smoother this way. Repeat with another tube of dough and the blue gel food coloring. For the last tube, just add the flour. (I added flour because the Pillsbury™ dough is so chewy and delicious - a slightly firmer dough is needed for these little guys.)
  • Split each of the colors into three equal parts. Layer in alternating fashion, placing into a plastic wrap lined loaf pan, and patting each layer out until the dough evenly fills the the pan. Top with another layer, again patting until even. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover tightly and freeze for four hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove the dough from the pan and unwrap. Cut thin slices, approximately 1/4-inch wide. Place on a baking sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper. Bake at 350°F for 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Immediately after the cookies are removed from the oven, use the star cookie cutter to cut the cookie shapes. You will need two side pieces, and one middle for each. Cut a round out of the center of 1/3 of the cookies. Try to work quickly, as the cookies set up very quickly and will be difficult to cut as they cool. Also, I used a tiny cookie cutter to make adorable little stars from the scraps. Once you've cut all the shapes, allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before moving.
  • To assemble, take the first star cookie and lay it upside down so that the baked bottom is facing up. Take the middle cookie (with the hole) and dot some frosting on the center of each point. I used leftover white cake frosting because I had it on hand, but you could also use a mixture of 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and two teaspoons of milk.
  • Place the middle cookie on top of the frosting glue and add about a teaspoon of mini M&Ms to the open center. Put another outline of frosting glue on the middle cookie and place another star cookie on top (so that top side side is facing out). Let the cookies harden for at least 30 minutes before serving.

DEATH STAR PINATA WITH LIGHTSABRE STICK RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Death Star Pinata With lightsabre Stick Recipe - Food.com image

My son is a big Star Wars fan, so I came up with this themed pinata for his birthday party. The papier mache takes a few days, though not too much active work. The results are worth it!

Total Time 10

Prep Time 4 hours

Cook Time 96 hours

Yield 1 pinata & stick

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large balloons (punch ball)
1 newspaper, torn into strips
1 recipe papier mache (I use Papier Mache')
silver powdered tempura paints (non-toxic)
black powdered tempura paints (non-toxic)
heavy string (as much as you need)
scotch tape
1 broom stick
2 sheets sky blue craft foam (8 1/2-inch x 11-inch, like Foamtastic)
1 sheet grey thin craft foam (8 1/2-inch x 11-inch, like Foamtastic)
hot glue

Steps:

  • NOTE: I used premixed tempura/poster paint in bottles (12 oz for the silver, 1 oz for the black). "Active" time is spread out over the days: it takes about 25 minutes to make the paste, 20 minutes to do each layer of papier mache, about an hour to paint, and should take less than an hour to do the "lightbabre.".
  • FOR PINATA:.
  • Prepare papier mache paste (#38097).
  • Inflate balloon until it is as large and round as possible. Tuck the end into balloon.
  • Coat strips of newspaper, one at a time, and lay onto ballon, making as smooth as possible with your hand. Cover entire balloon. Let dry overnight or about 12 hours.
  • Repeat step two at least twice (3-4 layers is good). Allow to dry completely. Surface should be very hard! Cut a "trap door", about 3" x 3" on one side (for adding candy). Detach balloon from the inside of the pinata and remove.
  • Paint the ball completely with silver tempera paint. Allow to dry. Repeat until ball looks uniform and no newspaper shows through (you may want to lay down a "primer" coat first in a neutral color). Once silver is dry, paint "Death Star" details in black: paint a line around the "equator." One one side near the top of the ball, paint a medium sized (about 4" diameter) circle with decreasingly smaller circles inside for the "superlaser" disk. Some vertical and horizontal lines will suggest detail. Once dry, attach string to top by poking 2 holes in the top and threading it through. Add candy, etc to about 1/3 full, and tape shut. Lift by the string - if the string starts to tear the pinata, reinforce with hot glue.
  • FOR LIGHTSABRE:.
  • NOTE: Must be done by an adult, as glue is very hot! Apply a line of hot glue to the 8 1/2" edge of the grey sheet of foam. Press vertically to the bottom of the mop/broom stick (for the handle). Wrap foam taughtly around stick. Apply a line of glue to the already glued down edge and press foam to it (foam will overlap). Allow glue to cool slightly, cut end off until edges are flush. Apply another line of glue over seam, if needed. Repeat 4 times with blue or green foam, each level flush with the previous, until stick is covered. Once completely cooled, use the black paint to add details to the handle - horizontal lines, circle for a "button," etc.
  • TO PLAY:.
  • Drape rope over a tree branch, and have one person hold the end, or hang as desired. Each player uses the "lightsabre" to hit the "Death Star" until the pinata breaks apart. Older kids should be blindfolded. This pinata should be strong enough that 6-8 younger kids should get a turn, and it should start breaking apart (no adult help needed!) during the second round.
