Hey guys, it’s Ro! Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
Today we are gonna be making something that I got a lot of requests for.
Today we are gonna be making, from scratch, Wookie Cookies!
Rrrrrrawwwwgggghhhhh!
Let’s get started!
The things you will need, will be: Oatmeal, cinnamon, salt, corn starch, vanilla
extract, baking powder, salt, toffee bits, and the brand I used for toffee bits
was the Heath, it’s crumbled, this stuff is amazing. Yum-yum-yum-yum-yum!
Brown sugar, 2 eggs, cage free eggs, way to go! And, 2 sh-ticks of unsalted butter.
You’ll also need a whisk, I have an electric mixer, 2 big bowls, and a blender
Let’s put it all together!
The first thing that we’re gonna do to make these oatmeal toffee crispy cookies,
is we’re gonna take 1-1/2 cups of oatmeal and put it in the blender.
Take out a fresh cup, oh, gotta open this. Forgot about that!
Put it in here. That’s 1 cup… And here’s a 1/2 cup.
And then we’re gonna use the rest of this oatmeal but we’re just gonna put it off
to the side for later.
Put the lid on, and chop it up!
Now in your first big bowl, you’re gonna combine the ground oatmeal, salt, cinnamon,
cornstarch and baking powder and whisk it all together.
In your 2nd big bowl, we’re gonna add our butter, and our sugar, and we’re gonna
mix it all together to get fluffy! So you’re gonna add 2 sh-ticks of unsalted
butter, beep-beep-beep!
Then you’re gonna take 1/2 a cup of light brown sugar, and then you’re gonna take
3/4 cup of regular white sugar.
And now we’re gonna beat it all together until it’s really fluffy!
Brrrrrrrrbbbbbbbb!
Now that our mixture’s all fluffy, looks a little chewy… Ah get it?
Chewy! Awww, OK, I’m corny!
Alright, now we’re gonna add our 2 eggs, the whole egg. So you just
crack it, put it in! Crack it, put it in! And our vanilla extract, you’re gonna
add 2 tablespoons. Now we’re gonna beat this all together on a low speed,
and we’re gonna gradually be adding our dry ingredients from our other bowl.
Now that we’ve mixed everything together in our big bowl, we are gonna add the
remaining oatmeal which is 3 cups, it was 4-1/2 cups total, but this is the
3 cups remaining that wasn’t blended together in the blender.
So I’ll put a little bit, take a spatula and just fold it in!
Oh…. Yum!
Last but not least, you’re gonna add 3/4 cup of your toffee bits, and fold them
in as well. We’re almost there, come on, come on, come on!
AVALANCHE!!!!
Mix ‘em in, mix ‘em in! Mix ‘em in, mix ‘em in!
Now our yummy cookie dough is all ready, and what you’re gonna do is take a baking
sheet and you’re gonna line it with 1 piece of parchment paper.
And now I’m taking a tablespoon scoop, and just taking a tablespoon…
Brrp! Like this, and then I’m just gonna take my finger, scoop it out, because it’s
really sticky, and put it on top of the parchment paper.
And you’re just gonna do a ton of these.
Give them about an inch or 2 of space, so that when they spread out they don’t hit
each other!
After you got your cookies on the pan, heat your oven to 350 and bake for about
10 minutes, just keep your eye on it because, every oven is different.
So as soon as they lay flat and they're starting to get golden brown, you know that they
are done! And this recipe makes about 30 cookies, so there’s a ton of cookie
batter left over!
I’m just putting 8 on here because they do spread out
and I don’t want to crowd ‘em!
Once your cookies are done baking, take them out of the oven,
make sure they’ve had plenty of time to cool, and now we are gonna decorate
them a little bit. To make them look like ‘zha Wookie!
So the things you’re gonna need are: Chocolate, the dark chocolate, I’m just using
easy, Hershey Kisses! And, white chocolate melts.
Oh, oh!
To decorate these it is super easy, I just took the chocolates all these little
guys, and I put them in a microwave safe bag with a little tip on it.
And the first thing we’re gonna do is make Chewbacca’s ammo belt. And you’re just
gonna draw a diagonal line across the cookie, and then make a little
rectangle. Now you’re just gonna fill it in.
Now you’re gonna take my little metal tool, and if you don’t have this tool
you can just use a little toothpick, that’s fine too!
And while the chocolate’s still warm, you can just brush it out to kind of
make it a little bit more smooth.
Now I’m gonna make Chewy’s little eyes, just make 2 little dots.
And I’m gonna make his little nose!
Now we are gonna make the details on his ammo belt using the white chocolate melts.
These ones you’re just gonna use ‘em whole, like this. Or any white chocolate
that you have. And I just cut off the corners to make it look like a square.
Then you’re just gonna pick up these chocolates, and while the chocolate’s still warm
just place it on his belt.
Now that we got all the ammo belts made and their little faces. We are just gonna
take some white chocolate. I put it in a microwave safe bag, again with a tip.
And we’re just gonna make little smiles, little Wookie smiles!
Ta-da! We did it! Here are our Oatmeal Toffee Crispy Wookie Cookies!
They look so cute!
I just love this recipe because the crispy oatmeal and toffee chunks make it look
like its all, like, furry and bumpy and his coat’s all uneven.
And so it was just perfect! They’re so cute!
I guess I should say Oatmeal Toffee Chocolate Crispy Cookies, because it has
chocolate on top. Mmmmmm!
Thank you guys for suggesting this, if you have any other ideas for any other
Nerdy Nummies, please let me know, leave me a comment down below and I will do
my best to make it happen!
OK, thanks you guys, bye-bye!
1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon. No cinnamon challenges!
Ugh, they’re horrible, don’t do it!
I’m never using cinnamon ever again, in anything on Nerdy Nummies!
