Day 6 Star Wars Oatmeal Creme Pie Galaxy Cookies #12daysofStarWars

The Countdown to Star Wars - The Force Awakens marches on!

Today is the 6TH DAY OF STAR WARS of #12daysofStarWars

Star Wars Oatmeal Creme Pie Galaxy Cookies!  

Do you love oatmeal cookies? Me too so you'll love these.

Star Wars merch is everywhere.  And when I say everywhere I mean EVERYWHERE.  Because Disney is a marketing MACHINE.  Have you seen this cereal in stores? It's Limited Edition of course.  

But look, mini SW marshmallows!   And little tie fighters and millenium falcon cereal! Who can resist that? Definitely not me.

After eating a few handfuls of the cereal I decided to make oatmeal cookies using the recipe on the Quaker Oatmeal container but swapped out some of the oatmeal and replaced it with the SW cereal.  

I also tinted the batter grey so the cookies would look like space rocks.  (mmm yum grey food!)

Then baked them up.  Hubby said they looked like little piles of puke.  I guess I can see his point, but I'm going with space rocks!

Bake the cookies for about 5 minutes then add some more marshmallows and cereal on top.  That prevents the marshmallows from turning to mush and keeping their form more.

And really who can resist oatmeal cookies with some buttercream slathered inside??

Are you tired of SW treats yet?? No? Great because there's still plenty more coming!
