Mickey as a Stormtrooper:

1. Use the Storm Trooper in the picture as the outline.
2. Outline each of the cookies in white except for the ears . Allow to dry for about 30 seconds before filling in the cookie. Fill in the cookie with the *white thinner icing. (*Squeeze half of the white icing into a bowl then add 1 tsp of water to this and mix it in). Allow to dry for about 30 seconds.
3. Leave the rest of the icing in the frosting bag for later use on the cookies.
4. Outline the ears in black . Allow to dry for about 30 seconds before filling in the ear. Fill in the ears with the *black thinner icing. (*Squeeze half of the black icing into a bowl then add 1 tsp of water to this and mix it in). Allow to dry for about 30 seconds.
5. Leave the rest of the icing in the frosting bag for later use on the cookies.
6. Using the black thicker icing, draw a line across the face of the cookies just above the bottom of the ears. Allow a few seconds for this to dry.
7. Move down to the eye area and draw two candy corn shaped eyes laying on their sides. On each side of the cookie where the eyes are add two straight lines in black. Allow to dry slightly before moving to the next area on the face.
8. For the mouth, draw a upside V in black. On each side of the face draw three short lines in the thick black icing. Allow to dry for 30 seconds.
9. For the chin, in black icing draw a two tier cake with the bottom layer a littler larger than the top layer. Fill in the layers in the thinner black icing. Allow to dry for 30 seconds.
10. Last step is to add two black dots next to the drawing on the chin.
11. Allow for the cookie to dry for 5-10 hours.
