My husband and I used a date night to see Guardians of the Galaxy at a pre-release screening. We both absolutely loved the movie and couldn’t wait to purchase it for our own movie collection! I am going to pick up our copy of the Blu-Ray/DVD/HD release of Guardians of the Galaxy tomorrow (December 9).
Early last week, I was at Walmart and I found some fun gear to celebrate the release of Guardians of the Galaxy. I picked up a book (These are the Guardians) for my boys, the Marvel Guardians Of The Galaxy Star-Lord Quad Blaster for the hubs and supplies to make cassette tape cookies so we bring the excitement into our home before the movie.
While the Star-Lord Quad Blaster was intended for my husband, it’s quickly become mine. It’s a ton of fun and it shoots two ‘bullets’ at once! I don’t always play with the Quad Blaster, though. Over the last week, the boys and I have read These are the Guadians at least three times!
I knew I wanted to make cookies to munch on while we watch the movie tomorrow night, so I did a test run yesterday. I went with DIY cassette tape cookies to look like the Awesome Mix Vol. 1 tape from the movie. They turned out alright – especially for a girl who doesn’t make cut-out cookies with royal icing more than once a year!
Open a package of refrigerated (pre-made) sugar cookie dough sheets. Take a pizza cutter and slice it into rectangles. Bake as directed. While the cookies are baking, make a double batch of royal icing. In three different zippered baggies, put 1/3 of the icing. Leave one white, color one reddish-orange and the other black.
After the cookies have cooled, you’re ready to decorate!
Guardians of the Galaxy is available starting December 9, 2014.
Have you seen Guardians of the Galaxy?
I love the way the cookies turned out. Now I have to see the movie so I can find out how they tie in!
Those cookies are seriously amazing- so awesome I’d have a hard time eating them and instead would just want to admire them. We haven’t saw Guardians of the Galaxy yet!
Yes I have seen Guardians of the Galaxy, and I liked it a lot, I might have to get a copy for our collection. I love the cassette tape cookies, very cool detail! So retro!
I love those cookies, what a creative idea. We loved this movie and can’t wait to see it on DVD.

Ha! I totally love your take on the cookies. That really was a funny and key part of the movie. 🙂
Loving the cassette tape cookies now that is creativity! So fun to add that little touch
The cookies are adorable! Great job! I haven’t seen the movie but hope to soon. I’m assuming I’ll find out how the cassette tape fits in?
Yes! It plays a pretty big role in the movie – but you’ll start seeing it as soon as the movie starts!
Fun! My son would love the blaster.
We haven’t seen the movie yet but I know the family all want to see it. Loved the cookies. Thank you for sharing!
Those cookies are absolutely amazing! Creativity gold star to you! I am also curious how the “tape” comes into play in the movie! Can’t wait!
Fabulous mix tape cookies! I really enjoyed watching The Guardians of the Galaxy recently with my husband. I can’t wait to stock up on the toys.
Wow, I love that idea for those cookies! Those turned out really neat!
How cute! Good job!
Those cookies are super cute! Pinned.
These cookies look great!! I’m impressed with your skills! 🙂 We loved Guardians of the Galaxy too and plan on getting it. It was so much fun!
We haven’t seen this yet but I plan on renting it as soon as it hits Redbox. Once I see it and see what the kids think of it will determine if I buy it. Love the tape cookies, not really sure the reference yet but I know the toys are a hit with kids this year.
I have not seen the Guardians of the Galaxy yet. My hubby and son have seen it multiple times and love it. I bought them both a copy for Christmas and look forward to seeing it! 🙂
Oh my goodness I watched the movie last night and I loved it! Such cute humor and LOVE LOVE the cassette tapes. I wish he would have opened the gift from his mom a lot sooner than that though!
Your cookies turned out great, so creative too! They would go great with watching this movie, which I can’t wait to do again!
Cute cookies!
I love these cookies! What a great idea for a tasty treat during the movie. I bought the movie this week and we watched it today as a family! #client
