When you chop off the head of an Angel cookie cutter it sorta looks like Baby Yoda! Also, rock hammer for scale. #unconventionalcookies #usetheforce #babyyoda #mando #christmascookies

Using an angel cookie cutter, Ataturk shared she was able to create Baby Yoda by simply taking apart the head of the cookie cutter, or removing the head from the cookie before baking.

“I love Baby Yoda! It was so much fun making these cookies.” Atakturk told “Good Morning America.” “I hope everyone gets the chance to chop off their own angel cookie head to make room for a Baby Yoda.”

Since Ataturk shared her baking method, many have headed to the kitchen to create their own Baby Yoda-inspired cookies, too, and have even tried her angel cookie cutter method.

For onto us a “child” is born. Ummm I think we might be making cookies of the wrong child this Christmas. I began making these pine branch sugar cookies and I had plenty of dough left over and realized I was using the same icing colors and it was kismet. To make “Baby Yoda” you cut the head off of an gel and pull down its wings a little. I went for the cup of broth look. Royal Icing and sugar cookies is not my specialty but the kids and I had fun. They made their own too. #thechild #babyyoda #sugarcookies #christmascookies #babyyodacookies
