star-shaped

Like certain cookies

Star-shaped describes something having points radiating from a center, like a conventional drawing of a star.

The term applies to flowers, cookies, fortifications, or any object with that distinctive silhouette: star-shaped windows, a star-shaped medal.

The number of points varies—five is typical, but star-shaped covers any radiating pattern.
