Next, a little closer to the inner mickey head, draw a top of a heart connecting to the outlining of Mickey’s head. Add the half circle eyes and the dot between the nose followed by a small rectangle nose with two short lines pointing to the outside of the face. Close to those two lines draw one line on each side of the face directly from the corner of the eyes to the mouth. Draw another rectangle for the mouth, between the nose and mouth make three small lines. Refer again to the picture of Darth Vader to ensure the face resembles that picture. Allow the icing to dry for between 5-10 hours.

Using  the black thicker icing draw a line across the face of the Star Wars Mickey cookies just above the bottom of the ears. Allow a few seconds for this to dry. 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. 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. 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. Last step is to add two black dots next to the drawing on the chin. Allow for the cookie to dry for 5-10 hours.
