The Force Is Strong with These Chewie Cookies!
Posted on April 7, 2025 by Jenn D
We are a totally geeky family, especially when it comes to a galaxy that is far, far away! We get excites for the 4th of May because “May the Fourth Be with You” is a fun, out of this world holiday!
Ingredients:
- Gingerbread Cookie Mix (& ingredients to make the dough)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 cup White Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
- Large Gingerbread Man Cookie Cutter
- Fork
Directions:
- Roll your gingerbread dough out on a floured surface and cut out some gingerbread men.
- Using a fork, press down into the dough to form the hair on your Chewie Cookies.
- Press down pretty firmly so the lines stay during baking.
- If the cookies puff and smooth while baking, simply press your hair into the still warm cookie straight from the oven.
- Let cool completely.


- Melt the chocolate chips and pour into a small plastic bag with the end snipped off.
- Pipe the ammo belt onto your Chewie Cookies.
- Add the eyes.
- Melt the white chocolate and pour into a small plastic bag with the end snipped off.
- Add ammo dots on the belt and a mouth to each cookie.


Now, you can’t serve the Chewie cookies without some Beep-Boop Hot Cocoa!
Notes:
- Instead of melting chocolate chips, you could use black/brown and white frosting.
Whether your family is a bit geeky like mine or not, the FORCE will be strong with this CHEWIE cookie!
