Gingerbread Chewbacca Cookies

Yields1 Serving
Prep Time15 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time25 mins

Directions

1

Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and apple sauce. Add in your egg and molasses until well combined.

2

Mix together your dry ingredients (flours, cocoa powder, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon powder, ground nutmeg, and ground all spice).

3

Slowly add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix until no dry ingredients are seen.

4

Divide your cookie dough into two balls and plastic wrap each ball. Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

5

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

6

Flour your surface that you will be rolling your cookie dough onto. Roll out 1 ball at a time to at least 1/8 inch thickness. I did 1/4 and it was a bit on the thicker side, but up to your preference. Cut out your gingerbread men with a cookie cutter. Optional, but to make them Chewbacca-esque, take a fork and press down to create the "fur".

7

Bake for about 12 minutes. Let them cool completely before decorating (optional).

8

Optional decorating idea, but to make your gingerbread men Chewbacca-esque, take some chocolate frosting to create the utility belt. Just draw a line across the gingerbread man. Add white sprinkles on the belt to create the ammunition on the belt. For the eyes and nose, use a little bit of chocolate frosting (you can place mini chocolate chips to better define the eyes and nose). For the mouth use a little bit of vanilla frosting to create a line. Enjoy!
