Oh boy! Admittedly we love, love, love Star Wars around here but when it starts to take over our Christmas tree should we worry that there is a problem?! One cannot have too much Star Wars right?! Especially when this Cinnamon Chewbacca Ornament is sooooo cute!
I wasn’t joking when I said Star Wars is taking over our Christmas Tree! Well, at least these wookies are… if you have a Star Wars fan in the family then these are sure to be a hit. And honestly, they are beyond easy to make and create!
These are simply our take on traditional apple cinnamon gingerbread men… with a few added extras!
We started with a request from Isaiah to create our annual Apple Cinnamon Ornaments. We often make these and give them out as random acts of kindness throughout the holiday season. I was in the midst of baking so when he saw the gingerbread man cookie cutter he thought is would be fun to create a few bigger ornaments. My mind immediately went to Chewbacca and this cinnamon Chewbacca ornament was born…

Directions:
Tips:
Cut and stretch the gingerbread men.
Add “fur” and a hole to the top for hanging. Bake.
Allow to cool completely.
Add paint details…
My friends on Facebook voted and this eyes/nose combo was the winning design. If you have a mini gingerbread cookie cutter is would be darling to create little Ewoks to go along with all of the Wookies!
Pretty fun right?! These cinnamon Chewbacca ornaments were such a hit with my boys!! They can’t wait to give them out to friends, family and strangers alike during the holidays because they are just too cute.
So, will you create a few of these Chewbacca Cinnamon Ornaments or would they take over your tree too??

These are adorable and fun! What is the longevity of an ornament made out of applesauce & cinnamon? Did you store them with the rest of the decorations for next year?

Years! Up to five? I store them wrapped in a bit of paper towel.

Hi! In trying to make these adorable ornaments, but my dough is not acting like dough. It’s very crumbly and falling apart ! What do I need to do to help the dough!!! I really want to make these adorable Chewies for my 3rd graders class.
Thanks, Sabrina

Hi Sabrina! Simply add more apple sauce until a workable dough forms. If it gets too sticky, add more cinnamon. I hope that helps, have fun with your third graders, I was in a grade one glass today. So fun!
