Chocolate Wookie Cookies Recipe
To make these chocolate cookies, gather these ingredients:
Grocery List for Wookie Cookies
- Unsalted butter (1 cup)
- Granulated sugar (1 cup)
- Egg (1 large)
- Vanilla (1 tablespoon)
- All-purpose flour (2 1/2 cups)
- Cocoa powder (1/2 cup)
- Baking powder (2 teaspoons)
- Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
- Tub of chocolate frosting and pearl sprinkles (for decorating)
If you have salted butter on hand, you can use it but eliminate the salt listed in the ingredients. You may also want to grab decorating ingredients. I used what I had on hand -- a tub of chocolate frosting and pearl sprinkles. You can use what you want, adding eyes and a mouth, too!
How to Make Wookie Cookies
It is super easy to make these cookies look like our favorite wookie, Chewbacca. After rolling out the dough, use your gingerbread man cookie cutter then take a fork and randomly press the tongs all around the top of the cookie to make the "hair." It's as simple as that. Thanks to this blogger's brilliance for the idea!
These chocolate sugar cookies do not take long in the oven, just 6 to 9 minutes, so do not over bake! It depends on how thick or thin you roll your cookie dough.

Chocolate Sugar Cookies
I thought that chocolate sugar cookies would be best for these wookie cookies, but you can also use my favorite gingerbread cookie dough with great results! I think more kids like chocolate cookies over gingerbread, which is why I made chocolate cookies.
Next Star Wars Day, I would love to try making Baby Yoda cookies! I'm not the best cookie decorator, but maybe I'll get the itch and try next year! 🙂
