Celebrate All That Star Wars News By Baking Your Very Own Tusken Raider Cookies!

Star Wars Tusken Raider Cookie Recipe Prep time – 20 mins Cook time – 12 mins Total time – 32 mins Serves: 2 dozen Ingredients Madeleines

• 2 large room temperature eggs
• ⅔ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• 8 tbsp butter, melted and cooled (I used unsalted, but salted would work too)

Peanut Butter Frosting

• ½ cup softened butter
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2-3 tbs milk

Instructions Madeleines

1. Set oven to 375F.
2. Lightly grease and flour your madeleine pan.
3. Beat eggs and sugar together until thick.
4. Beat in vanilla and salt.
5. Sift flour and baking powder into bowl and fold together until mixed.
6. Stream in melted butter while mixing on low.
7. Spoon a tablespoon of batter into each cavity.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Be careful to not over bake.
9. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing.
10. Make sure pan has cooled before baking the next batch.

Peanut Butter Frosting

1. With an electric mixer and paddle attachment, beat the softened butter and peanut butter until combined.
2. Add the sugar and mix until just combined.
3. Add the milk and beat on high until light and fluffy.

Assembly

1. Using a petal piping tip, create ribbons or bandages in no particular order or direction. You want to make each Tusken look slightly different.
2. With melted chocolate and candy pearls pipe the mouths on parchment and allow to harden in freezer.
3. Use mini chocolate chips for eyes and slivered almonds for the spikes.
