Whether it's Boba Fett's armour, The Child's eating habits, or Ahsoka Tano, The Mandalorian has been breaking the internet each and every week since returning to Disney+ in October. However, one moment which really seemed to resonate with fans was Grogu (as he's now known) stealing that kid's cookies during "The Siege."
If they looked familiar, it's because they were based on macarons you can find here on Earth, and while branded versions have been selling online for $50 per box (yes, really!), The Mandalorian executive producer, director, and writer Jon Favreau has now shared his recipe.
The filmmaker also reveals what led to them being added to the Disney+ series in the first place.
"Josh, our prop master, came to us and was asking. 'What do these cookies look like?' If you look at the very end of the episode, under the credits, we like to include a lot of production art," Favreau explains. "So you can see the first look at what we thought it might look like. We wanted it to be blue, because it was like blue milk. And the prop master ended up baking macarons for it. But not a full macaron, not the sandwich, just like one half of the sandwich."
Favreau went on to admit that the macarons on set didn't have a huge amount of flavour, and also reveals a cheaper alternative for fans who would rather not fork out for the ingredients required to make them.
