These Star Wars-themed macarons by Semi Sweet Designs look totally delicious! Om nom nom nom. Apparently, macarons are hard to make, but I know that when you bake these cookie sandwiches correctly, they taste heavenly. Things get even better when it is decorated in a Star Wars theme. Everything is better with Star Wars.

Semi Sweet Designs studied some videos to make sure they had the technique and then got to work making three different macarons featuring a chocolate Chewbacca, and almond and vanilla R2-D2, and the lemon and vanilla Death Star. They came out looking perfect.

They look great. If they taste half as good as they look, those are some delicious treats.

One of the most memorable scenes in the history of science fiction has to be the John Hurt chestburster scene in the original Alien. It’s just the right blend of tension, suspense, and gross-out effects to be ranked up there at the top of list.

And while the crew of the Nostromo didn’t intentionally gestate aliens in their bellies, you now have the option to, thanks to these chestburster French macarons.

These delightfully nasty looking treats were made by Lou Lou P’s Delights, and while they look completely gross, they probably taste pretty awesome. That’s how the aliens lure you in to carrying their offspring, you see. While they look quite bloody, I bet that’s raspberry. Yum.

In addition to the chestburster, Lou Lou made some aliens in other states of their development, including facehugger and fully grown. Delightful.

I love those finger-lickin’-good chicken drumsticks, but as a cookie flavor? I don’t think so.

Thankfully these fried chicken cookies whipped up by Bridget over at Bake at 350 taste nothing like the real thing, although they look so much like it!

The chicken drumsticks are probably the easiest part to form and bake. You can also easily recognize them at a glance, compared to, say, chicken breasts or thighs.

Bridget included a guide on cookie cutter templates so you can still bake some fried chicken leg cookies of your own, even if you don’t have the appropriately-shaped cookie cutters.

Perhaps the biggest thing you might be wondering is.. What makes the chicken leg cookies look so darn crunchy? The secret, my friend, is cornflakes.

You can check out the recipe here.

Delicious Chewie chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven? Holy Yum! Now I see how Chewie got his name. He should be called Chewie and gooey with all of those chips. And just look at his tasty candy bandoleer.

Wookiees may be able to pull your arm out of it’s socket, but they aren’t so tough when they are going in your mouth with a nice glass of milk. Not so tough now are you? Looks like the Keebler Elves took over your tree. They probably have Ewoks working the assembly line, packaging these cookies up.

These awesome Wookiee cookiees come from Diamonds for Dessert, who also made up a Han Solo Cup so she has a place to dunk them…

Credit where credit is due… both were inspired by this hilarious Threadless t-shirt by Philip Tseng.

I’ve been dunking my cookies ever since Oreo launched their Twist, Lick, and Dunk campaign. Suffice to say, I’ve encountered a number of problems in the dunking process that you might have experienced yourself.

For example, spilled milk. When you’re dunking in a full glass of milk, there’s bound to be some spillage. Then there’s the opposite problem of too little milk left. You have to tilt the glass and push your hands as far into the glass as you can to dunk your cookie. Not a very pleasant experience.

So for these and all your other cookie dunking woes, there’s the Cookie Dunker.

Cookie Dunker looks like one of those wide-mouth cups that toddlers use to practice drinking from a glass, but there are a couple of marked differences: the rounded internal bottom, to fit the curve of your cookie perfectly; and the narrow cross section at the bottom that makes dunking in lower milk levels easier to achieve.

These are all first-world problems, of course – problems that we’re all very lucky to have.

The Cookie Dunker is up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of $23(USD) will get you a two-pack. Because one should never dunk alone.
