It’s almost Christmas, which means gingerbread cookies and another Star Wars film are upon us. To help celebrate the release of Rogue One, Rosanna Pansino of Nerdy Nummies whipped up a batch of Wookiee Cookies.
All it takes is a standard gingerbread dough, cookie cutter, and a piping bag to lay on Chewie’s face and ammo belt. Just make sure to get your dough correct, or they come out a bit chewie.

To help get into the Christmas spirit, or to help encourage your disdain for the holiday, ad agency Zulu Alpha Kilo created an ad campaign “featuring cute gingerbread men doing horrible things to one another.”
The series was created as a holiday promotion for horror magazine Fangoria, and includes “Death by Cheese Grater,” Death by Rolling Pin,” and “Death by Toaster.” What, no death by Ninja attack?
