Doctor Who is an iconic BBC TV show that recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. The show has loyal (crazy?) fans that know every detail of the show and the characters. One of the interesting twists to the show is that the main character, the Doctor, can regenerate and because of this has been played by a slew of actors over the years. Each character has a distinctive personality and look. My youngest daughter, a big fan, has taken our routine Christmas cookie decorating to a new level. With just a simple gingerbread man sugar cookie, some white frosting, four shades of food coloring (black, red, yellow, and blue), and toothpicks, she created 11 masterpiece cookies. Meet the 11 different Doctor Who cookies.
Doctor Who Cookies
Here are your cookie Doctor Who models in order.
1 – William Hartnell
2 -Patrick Troughton
3 – Jon Pertwee
4 – Tom Baker
5 – Peter Davison
6 – Colin Baker
7 – Sylvester McCoy
8 – Paul McGann
9 – Christopher Eccleston
10 – David Tennant
11 – Matt Smith
I’m in awe of the details my youngest daughter was able to create with just a toothpick, her imagination, and her determination. There’s no way I’m going to let anyone eat these masterpieces! I need to encourage her to create the most recent Doctor Who in cookie form this year.
Who is your favorite incarnation of the Doctor and which Doctor Who cookie do you like the best?

Wow! She did an amazing job! I’ve only watched the new seasons of Dr. Who and I really think she nailed the last two doctors! She really captured their hair haha. Great job!
susan says
Dianna, I think she did an amazing job, too, and particularly on the hair! I’m a proud mama.
Chris says

Leah McGrew says
These are so lovely! We had a BIG 50th/60th birthday party on November 23rd (I share a birthday with the Doctor.) We had a lot of Whovian related dishes. I didn’t have any great luck with the gingerbread men (we tried to make gingerbread companions) but these are AWESOME. I’ve been a fan since 1981ish and Tom Baker (4) is probably my go-to favorite, but actually my favorite is probably the one I’m watching at the moment.
susan says
Happy belated birthday! What a testament to the show that you’ve been a fan since 1981.
Bethany says
SO awesome! And some serious detail, you can never eat them!!
susan says
Thanks, Bethany. Wonder if you can shellac cookies to preserve them?
Marla says
I love Doctor Who and when I saw those cookies I squealed.They are fantastic!
I plan on theming one of my Christmas trees on Doctor Who next year; I’ll have to keep these cookies in mind when I put it together.
She did an awesome job!
susan says
Marla, Thanks, I’m think she did an amazing job, too. A Doctor Who themed tree sounds fun, I’ll have to tell my daughter about it.
Angela at A Typical English Home says

Doctor Who themed food sounds fun. Besides celery, I’m at a loss for ideas.
Julie says
You are a genius and these are brilliant!
I have loved doctor who since I was a kid (Tom Baker was my Doctor back then) and am very excited that people all over the world love it now.
In a strange “it’s a small world” way, my son made my daughter gingerbread “house” for her birthday once (all the characters from the TV show House) which were kind of similar to these beauties of yours !
susan says
What a thoughtful gift for a brother to make!
Cynthia L says
I am absolutely in love with these. I remember Dr. Who from way back when!

Wow! That was a lot of work and I really enjoyed scrolling through the doctor pictures matched up with the cookies. I am always surprised by the creative projects that pop up on Pinterest by Doctor Who fans. I love the show so this was good for a laugh!
Sue says
I like numbers 4, 6, and 7! What! These are amazing. I see a character cookie company in the future.
susan says
Sue, what an exciting idea. I’ll be sure to share it with my daughter.
Keri says
These are amazing! The details are really something. I’m partial to David Tennant because he was my first, but also a big fan of Tom Baker and Peter Davidson.
ruth says
What fun! I love that she included Peter D’s celery stalk and Tom Baker’s curls. What an eye for detail.
susan says
I love the celery stalk detail, too. It makes me smile every time I look at it.
Mama to 5 BLessings says
those are so funny! My husband would love these – he is a huge Dr. Who fan!

My daughter is, too. I must have been living under a rock, because I didn’t know anything about Doctor Who until she started watching it.
Cyndie says
These are almost too cute to eat.
susan says
That’s my dilemma. They’re currently residing in my fridge. I’ve got to figure out a way to preserve them.

I saw this and it made me think of a blogger buddy whose family loves Doctor Who. I’ve seen it on a few times when I was flipping through the guide and now I’m even more intrigued to see what the hype is all about because before blogging, I’ve never heard of it before. These cookies are so cute and creative! Thank you for sharing with us!
