Cute dessert should be the key to anyone’s heart. When you put Baby Yoda and cute dessert together, that’s a definite YES for us!

Note: Interestingly, the cookie-cutter used to make this is part of a set that isn’t being produced anymore (Come on, guys. Really?!). You can find them on eBay or Etsy if you hunt, but in a pinch, a regular gingerbread man cutter will work. Just be sure to poke or pipe on with icing some details to show it’s Mando!

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2: In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar until combined.

Step 3: Add the egg, vanilla, and a small amount of black food gel dye.

Step 4: Slowly add in the dry ingredients just until the dough comes together, and turns gray in color.

Step 5: Split the dough into two and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.

Step 6: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with silpats or parchment paper.

Step 7: Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out the shapes. Add helmet details with the back of a knife. Transfer the dough onto the prepped baking sheets.

Step 8: Place a piping tip in the center of the cookie. Carefully fold the arms over to grasp the piping tip.

Step 9: Bake for 10 minutes, let cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, carefully slide out the piping tip.

Step 10: Pipe black icing using a #3 tip, to add the visor detail. Let dry.

Step 11: Roll a small ball of green fondant to form the Child’s head. Add icing on the back to secure, and place in the Mando cookie’s arms. Add a tiny piece of fondant for the nose.

Step 12: Pinch two small pieces of green fondant to form long tear drop shapes. Add these to both sides of the ball to form the ears. Secure with icing.

Step 13: Create the same tear drop shape with pink taffy for the ear details.

Step 14: Use black fondant to make two small balls to form the eyes. Place onto the head, securing with icing.

Step 15: Once the fondant and icing is dry, the cookies are ready to serve.

These cookies are a great treat to snack on while watching season two of The Mandalorian, don’t you think? Check back for any new recipes!
