Are you guys ready for another Star Wars treat?
2ND DAY OF STAR WARS
Chewbacca and Wampa Macaroons!
These are coconut macaroons (not be to confused with macarons) in vanilla and chocolate flavs. I love love - LOVE coconut and my kids do not. So these cookies are pretty much all for me.
And in comparison to French macarons - they are so easy to make.
I thought the flaked coconut would look like Chewbacca's and the Wampa's fur.
My kids said Chewbacca looks more like an Ewok - but I guess that works too!
What's your favorite Star Wars character? Are you excited for the new ones in the new movie? Can't wait to see them up on the big screen!
