Gingerbread Wookiee Cookies
Here's what you need:
* 3 cups flour
* 3/4 cup melted butter
* 3/4 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup molasses
* 1/2 cup water
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1 tsp ginger
* 2 tsp cinnamon
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 egg
How to make these cuties:
Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Once dough begins to form a ball in the center, dust generously with flour. Separate into three sections to make rolling easier. Cover dough with plastic wrap or wax paper and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Dust a smooth surface with flour, and roll out a section of the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a gingerbread man cookie cutter, or a knife to slice out your Wookiees.
Wookiees are tall, so you may want to stretch out the head and feet! Place on parchment paper on a baking sheet, and score the cookie's surface to look like fur.
Bake at 350˚F/180˚C for 10-12 min. Your Wookiees will puff up quickly! Next, with melted chocolate in a piping bag, add the bandolier, eyes and nose.
These Wookiee cookies are soft and *chewie*. Enjoy!
