A new cookbook, "Star Wars: Galactic Baking," has more than 30 sweet-and-savory, themed recipes.

The book's recipes are organized by the various lands and planets that inspired them. Tarah Chieffi/Insider

Most of the BB-8 ingredients were easy to find at the grocery store.

I thought the use of doughnut holes for BB-8's head was genius. Tarah Chieffi/Insider

The BB-8 cakes start with a basic vanilla cake batter.

The batter made just enough for a dozen cupcakes. Tarah Chieffi/Insider

BB-8's head is made using doughnut holes.

Slicing a bit off the bottom of the doughnut holes helped them sit up straight on the cupcakes. Tarah Chieffi/Insider

I frosted the BB-8 cakes with melted vanilla frosting and then added the colorful details.

Decorating the cupcakes was our favorite part. Tarah Chieffi/Insider

The BB-8 Cakes were delicious, and we had so much fun decorating them together.

The Wicket Moon Pies required lots and lots of chocolate.

I bought three bags of chocolate chips to make the Wicket Moon Pies. Tarah Chieffi/Insider

I made the cookie dough early in the morning because it needed to chill in the refrigerator before baking.

The dough has a bit of cinnamon for a graham-cracker flavor. Tarah Chieffi/Insider

I formed the dough into 32 small, flat circles before baking.

I had to make the cookies smaller than expected, but the recipe made 32 exactly. Tarah Chieffi/Insider

Decorating the Wicket Moon Pies was messy, but fun.

You can dip the cookies into melted chocolate or spoon melted chocolate over the top of each one. Tarah Chieffi/Insider

The Wicket Moon Pies were adorable and the combination of chocolate, graham-cracker flavor, and marshmallow reminded me of s'mores.

The Wicket Moon Pies were almost too cute to eat. Tarah Chieffi/Insider
