Baby Yoda Sipping Soup - The Mandalorian Cookies

Are you guys watching The Mandalorian??? It's almost impossible not to get on the Baby Yoda kick.

I mean look at him!  And I know it's not really baby Yoda - he/she is technically called "The Child" in the show but the interwebs have dubbed it Baby Yoda so I'm sticking with that.

These are Baby Yoda sipping soup cookies.  You know meme right?

Baby Yoda sippin' soup! It's just too much so I had to make it in cookie form!

I used sugar cookie dough and tinted half green (I used food coloring but use matcha to add some great flavor!) and half light brown with cocoa powder.

Roll out your dough and using a gingerbread man cutter cut out brown bodies and green heads.  

Attach them by pressing them slightly together at the seams.  I cut out ears free hand and also added some extra brown dough for robe accents.

Cut the tip from a Bugle chip for the soup bowl and rub with some cocoa powder.

Fold arms around bowl and add a little green dough for hands

Add a little more brown dough for more robe accents.  Use black sprinkles as eyes and a little pink melted candy wafer to color the ears.

Be warned! If you eat the ears Baby Yoda turns into Uncle Fester from the Addams Family! 

So creepy!

BUT - until then you have some super cute Baby Yoda Sipping Soup Cookies!

This should be a fun week.  The last Mandalorian episode is this week.  We see the Rise of Skywalker this weekend.  And it's Christmas next week so all in all a great end to the year!

Hope you enjoy the cookies!

Day 9 Star Wars Mickey Ear Cookie Pops #12daysofStarWars

Well we're onto the week of The Force Awakens!  Did you see the red carpet at the LA premiere today? I'm watching some on Periscope and it looks pretty insane.  Harrison Ford walked by and waved.  Did you know he's 73?? 73!!  I can only imagine what the official opening nite will be like.  (Must stay off of social media until we see the movie - on the 20th!)

And here we go onto the 9TH DAY OF STAR WARS

Mickey Ears Star Wars Cookies/Cookie Pops!  

It's seems appropriate to mashup Disney and Star Wars into these cookies.  Ever since Disney bought the SW franchise you see SW themed everything.  It's almost a little ridiculous the amount of SW merch available.  Almost.  I figured Mickey ear cookies would make the most sense.

They are even no bake and start with store bought cookies to speed making them up.  These little chocolate chip cookies worked great.  Use a large icing tip to cut away a small edge of 2 cookies.  Then fit the cookies together like Mickey ears and "glue" together with melted chocolate.  They come together very quickly.

Most of the time is spent on the rest of the detail which is done with various colors of candy melting wafers (my most favorite kitchen supply!).  You can decorate and share as is or use more melted chocolate to add sticks to make cookie pops.

Either way they are super fun!

From top clockwise: Boba Fett, Yoda, Darth Vader, Death Star, Rebel Pilot, Chewbacca, R2D2, C3PO

Are you sick of all the SW posts yet??? Well I hope not since there are 3 more days to go!

How To Mickey Ears Star Wars Cookies 

Ingredients:

• Store bought small chocolate chip cookies (or any flavor would work)
• 1 cup of chocolate chips
• Various colors of candy melting wafers

Directions:

1. You will need 3 cookies per Mickey ear cookie (or cookie pop).  Use a large icing tip to cut away a small edge of 2 cookies.  Then fit the cookies together like Mickey ears and "glue" with melted chocolate.  
2. If making cookie pops, flip cookie over and add melted chocolate to center of cookie.  Insert stick and let harden 15 minutes.
3. Once chocolate is hardened (10-15 minutes) add other detail with colors of melting wafers.  Add about 1/2 cup of wafers to a quart sized freezer bag, microwave in 20 second intervals until candy is melted  (usually 3-4 intervals depending on microwave).  Snip a small corner and "pipe" the candy. Use photos as a guide.  Let one layer harden completely before adding any candy on top.

Star Wars Christmas Wreath Treats!  

Because doesn't everyone need a wreath decorated with Yoda and Vader? 

I found these candies around Halloween time and couldn't resist buying them up. 

There were also green and purple lightsabers.  I added a little candy melt/sprinkles to give them a little more detail.

The treats are made like rice krispies treats except you swap corn flakes for the rice cereal.

Add some more sprinkles to finish the wreath look.

ONLY 4 DAYS LEFT!!

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!

Day 5 Star Wars Character Christmas Cookies #12daysofStarWars

Hey all! I'm already onto the 5TH DAY OF STAR WARS! 

Star Wars Character Christmas Gingerbread Cookies!  

These are cookies from last year but I couldn't resist adding them to the countdown.  I love the little Santa hats on my favorite characters - Yoda (always Yoda), Darth Vader, Storm Troopers, and Boba Fett, everyone's favorite bounty hunter.

These cookies are also my favorite flavor cookie of all time - gingerbread.  I used SW cookie cutters for this but you could probably just as easily cut their basic shape out of the dough.  

The Santa hats are cut out of the dough freehand and attached before baking.  Use a little melted candy melts/chocolate to add the details along with some christmas sprinkles.

These cookies are pretty perfect for the movie month AND Christmas season.  There are only 7 more days to go! WOOO!
