Whether you’re binge watching the first season of “The Mandalorian” on Disney Plus or you’re anxiously awaiting for more seasons, these no-bake Baby Yoda Cookies are so much fun. All Star Wars fans can appreciate the cuteness overload that we received when we were first introduced to “the child.” Made from Nutter Butter cookies, these are so easy to make and perfect for a themed Disney+ streaming night or for a party.
I wasn’t born a Star Wars fan and I can’t even say that the fandom is in my blood. My Husband introduced me to the franchise. At 33, I watched all of the Star Wars films for the first time (I have a tough time with “Revenge Of The Sith”). I’m proud to say, I’m hooked!
Even though it took me a long time before becoming a true fan, I have always celebrated May The 4th Star Wars Day. You can totally make these fun Baby Yoda cookies for Star Wars day too. Let the kids help you in the kitchen and enjoy as a family.
How To Make These Baby Yoda Cookies
Prepare a baking sheet or cutting board with waxed paper. Melt the candy coating according to package directions giving special care not to overheat the candy. If the candy coating is overheated, it will be too thick. You can add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to help thin the candy but do not add any other type of liquid as the candy will seize and harden.
One at a time, use a candy dipper to cover whole almonds in the melted candy and tap to allow the excess to return to the bowl. Transfer the almonds to waxed paper and allow to dry completely.
Next, dip each cookie into the candy melts to coat completely. Shake to remove excess candy and then place on waxed paper.
Immediately add the candy eyes and almond (ears).
Allow candy coating to harden completely. Then, using a toothpick, scratch a nose into the candy between the eyes. Roll out fondant and cut to fit the nutter butter cookies, allowing some excess to fold down the neckline of the coat.
Fold down one side and wrap the “coat” around the cookie with the seam in the back.
