There’s no more memorable Star Wars line about love than the one between Leia and Han right before he’s frozen in carbonite. Two simple phrases, “I love you” and “I know” became a part of cinematic history in The Empire Strikes Back, then again when the lines were reversed for Han and Leia in Return of the Jedi.

This Valentine’s Day, use those iconic words to express your love by making larger than life conversation heart cookies. Sweet and delicious, these treats are a great way to show off your Star Wars fandom.
