    These fun Wookie Cookies are perfect for a Star Wars themed party or for the Star Wars fan in your house.

    We recently held a Star Wars themed birthday party for my Star Wars obsessed 8-year old son. These Star Wars cookies took pride of place on the food table, alongside the Stormtrooper Marshmallows and other fun Star Wars themed food.

    We used our Thermomix gingerbread recipe to make these Chewbacca Cookies. If you don't have a Thermomix, try this gingerbread recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction.

    You will need

    You will need the following items to make these Chewbacca Cookies

    Chewbacca Cookies placed in a pan.
    • Gingerbread man cookie cutter (try to get one that is tall and thin rather than fat and round!)
    • Milk chocolate melts
    • White chocolate melts
    • Piping bags
    • Piping tips (I use Wilton no. 4 round tip)
    • Black edible pen

    How to make Wookie Cookies

    To make wookie cookies, start with your gingerbread dough and roll it out to around ¼ inch thick.

    Use a gingerbread man cookie cutter to cut out your wookies and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper, allowing around an inch of space between them.

    Before you put them in the oven, take a fork and gently press into the gingerbread to create a fur-like surface to the cookie.

    Next, bake them in the oven for around 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely before decorating.

    Decorating Wookie Cookies

    To decorate the wookie cookies, you just need to make a Chewbacca bullet belt and draw on a face.

    To make the belt, you will need both milk chocolate and white chocolate melts. To melt the chocolate, place it in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it at 50% power in 30 second intervals, giving it a good stir each time.

    Once it is melted, transfer the chocolate to a piping bag with a piping tip (I use the Wilton number 4 round tip) so that you have a piping bag full of melted milk chocolate and another one full of melted white chocolate.

    Now you can pipe on the belt. Start on the right hand shoulder and pipe the milk chocolate down to the left hand hip in a curved line. If you are using a thin piping tip you may need to do two lines and then fill in the middle.

    Then use the white chocolate to pipe on dots or lines.

    I tried a few ways of making the faces, including using the melted chocolate to pipe them on. I really don't find piping melted chocolate that easy for details and the faces ended up pretty messy.

    So instead I opted for using an edible pen. This was much easier to do and quick too. You could also try with writing icing, but I think the edible pen is the quickest and easiest.
