Asked about the inspiration behind the special blue cookie, Favreau said, “We wanted it to be blue because it was like blue milk. The prop master ended up baking macarons for us, but not the full macaron, not the sandwich, just one half of the sandwich.”
Eagle-eyed fans can see the concept art of the cookies at the end of the episode titled The Siege.

As for the flavor of the blue macarons, Favreau revealed they didn’t have much taste other than a bit of raspberry. “When you’re on a film set you’re not so worried about the taste,” Favreau said. “It’s about the look.”
In addition to The Mandalorian macarons, Binging with Babish has a video on how to make the Bone Broth Soup that Baby Yoda sips on a previous episode of the show.
