Guardians of the Galaxy Groot Cookies

Friday, April 17, 2015 by Darla

Guardians of the Galaxy Groot Cookies by BakingdomI know that Guardians of the Galaxy has been out for awhile now, but these cookies have been on my mind for ages, and I finally got motivated and whipped them up. I don’t know why I waited do long…they took no time at all to make, and they turned out supah awesome!

Easy Groot Spritz Cookies by BakingdomOkay, so can we just talk about how cute Groot is for a second? Because he is seriously the cutest. Great big, bad ass, big-hearted hero Groot, and bitty little sapling, boogying baby Groot…..cute, cute, cute Groot.

These cookies are pretty dang cute, too, if I do say so myself. Like, totally cute, and surprisingly easy.

Groot Cookies How-to by BakingdomSorry for this crappy picture, but it does the job. 😉

To make these, all I did was fit a piping bag with a small open star tip. You can use any size or style you like, as long as it creates a texture similar to the one shown. All I did to make each Groot was pipe an asymmetrical ‘u’ (one side higher than the other), then fill it in with another assynetrical ‘u’. Easy peasy.

For Groot’s yes, I made small indentations where I wanted the eyes to be, and for the mouth, I used a cleaned food coloring lid to impress a small smile shape.

Easy Groot Cookies by BakingdomAfter baking the cookies, while they’re still hot, press black sugar pearls into the eye indentations. By pressing them into the cookies slightly while they’re still hot, the pearls will stick in place.

Once the cookies are cooled, use a black food writer or black icing to draw a cute little grin in place.

The final touch was to brush the top of Groot’s head with green food coloring powder. You could also use Macha for this step, but it may not show quite as clearly.

I am Groot Cookies by BakingdomI also made some full body Groots. And they were also.

I am Groot…I am cute!

🙂

Groot Spritz Cookies by BakingdomThese are SO easy. Like, really really. The cookies dough is quick and simple, and piping the Groot shapes took about 2 seconds per cookie. As for the decorating, it’s all very minimalistic. These would be a great addition to any superhero-themed party, and ready in no time at all. Plus, they taste amazing. 😉

Enjoy!

    Oh my gosh, these are adorable! I love the green food coloring dust – so clever! Can I just say that Groot totally captured my heart in Guardians of the Galaxy? I mean, obviously, right? If it wasn’t for Groot, I wouldn’t have needed three piles of tissues at the end of that movie. Yay for your awesome tribute to the movie’s best character 🙂
