Star Wars cookie cutters, exclusively at Williams-Sonoma, might be the motivator.

Four cookie cutters that produce Yoda, Darth Vader, Boba Fett and a Stormtrooper are $19.95. Note that beautiful cookies don’t emerge from the oven: This is a lesson in decorating as well as baking.

There’s also a handsome kid’s Star Wars apron in black cotton twill, available with optional personalization.

If you don’t want to use the cookie cutters as a baking lesson, use them to get the kids to the dinner table. Tell them that Yoda and Darth Vader are coming for dessert.
