Wookie Cookies Gingerbread Recipe

These Wookie Cookies make the perfect Star Wars inspired gingerbread men for your holiday baking!  At this point are you surprised at all that these gingerbread cookies are on the blog?  You should know that we are Star Wars obsessed. 

With the new movie coming out this month its even easier to combine our love of Star Wars with the holidays and food!  This is not an original idea from me.  In fact it was when someone shared the Buzzfeed video on my Facebook last year that these became an annual tradition.

When I made a batch of these Wookie Cookies I knew that I wanted to share them with you and post them on the blog!  Because seriously, how amazing are they?!?!  We love them and I now substitute these wookies for gingerbread men in all of my holiday baking.

The kids love to help roll, cut out and decorate these wookie cookies.  We use a butter knife to mark up the gingerbread before baking and give each wookie a “furry” look. 

Semi sweet chocolate is then melted and drizzled on to form a utility belt.  The boys place white chocolate chips along the belt to complete the look.  You could add chocolate eyes and other details if you wanted.

Omgosh these are so freaking adorable! We are huge Star Wars fans in this house and I totally want to surprise my family with these for tomorrow! Thanks for the awesome idea!

These cookies are great!! Fun to make & decorate! Very soft & “Chewie”!!

How many cookies does one batch make? It doesn’t say on the original recipe.

Could I refrigerate the dough overnight? Or is that too long?
