Materials:
- baked sugar cookies (in assorted star shapes)
- yellow-tinted royal icing
- black food colouring pen
- yellow chocolate candies

Directions:
1. Dip the flat surface of one side of each cookie into the royal icing. Pull the cookie up and let excess icing drip back into the bowl. Lay dry-side down on a rack.

2. Immediately place a chocolate candy at each star point. Let royal icing dry completely, preferably overnight. When icing is dry, use the food colouring pen to write names on each cookie.
