In the Forests of Serre by McKillip is wonderful.Here's Surlalune's Baba Yaga listing: http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/ba...
Except the Queen
by Jane Yolen.Baba Yaga is scary as hell in this one. Although basically a force for good. A scary force for good.
She has appeared several times as a minor character in the Mercy Thompson UF series. The last book has her appearing in it several times, but that's not the only one she's been in. I just can't remember which other ones she's been in. (Fire Touched for that last book)
Witch Way to the Mall (Ignore the cheesy cover, the stories are funny and good) has one story with Baba Yaga in it. (That's the story that is sort of depicted on the cover, btw.)

There's some more recs in this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...I'd forgotten about the thead, but in a burst of good timing, someone bumped it earlier today.
Baba Yaga: The Wild Witch of the East in Russian Fairy Tales
Egg & Spoon
Mistress of the Solstice
Monday Begins on Saturday I think that Baba Yaga appeared in this book as well but I'm not entirely sure.
Amy wrote: "I really enjoyed Babayaga"Looks interesting. Sounds kind of similar to The Patriot Witch by C.C. Finlay. It's book 1 in the Traitor to the Crown trilogy. You might like it.
I (by chance) found a children's book called Baba Yaga and then remembered this thread. It was very cute.
A retelling, "Baba Yaga, the Forest Witch" appears in Old Peter's Russian Tales by Arthur Ransome. Old Peter's Russian Tales and is reprinted in Nine Witch Tales by "Abby Kedrabra", ha ha. Nine Witch Tales

There's a classic children's series that seems to have a lot of overlap/inspiration taken from Baba Yaga's mythology, but I can't confirm if she's in it:The People in the Garden
Rescue by Broomstick
The Hag Calls for Help
Seven League Ballet Shoes
Hag in the Castle
Hags on Holiday
and another (Hag by Starlight), which isn't on GR.
