How to make teddy bear cookies:

Ingredients:
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup Duncan Hines vanilla frosting
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 oz bag, Teddy Graham style cookies
Tip: pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough mix can be used as a base for these cookies as well. As a busy mom, I like to use short cuts like this when I’m in a hurry to make a quick treat.
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees f. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a stand mixer or a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar.
3. Add egg and vanilla and continue to mix on low speed.
4. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients slowly and combine until a soft dough forms.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips, scraping dough from the sides of the bowl.
6. Drop 8 to 10 large scoops of dough onto the baking tray. Leave at least 2″ between the cookie dough balls.
Tip: I like to use a large cookie scoop for this.
7. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes or until the edges start to brown. Place on a cooling rack to allow the cookies to cool quickly.
8. Scoop frosting into a piping bag with 1A tip and cover each cookie with the frosting.
Tip: a plastic bag with the tip cut off works too!
9. Add a teddy bear cookie to the top of the frosting.
10. Finish off with a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips on each cookie.
For chewier, softer cookies simply adjust the baking time and take the cookies out of the oven one minute sooner. Just be sure to allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating.
How to store these delicious cookies:
Store these sweet treats in a large freezer bag or airtight container at room temperature for a week or in the freezer for up to three months.
This recipe makes 8 deliciously festive chocolate chip cookies with just one small bag of teddy grahams! You have to agree that the kids would have a blast decorating these cookies!!
For fun teddy bear cookie recipe variations try adding these ingredients: dark chocolate chips , brown sugar, milk chocolate eggs, chocolate chunks, chocolate frosting or cocoa powder.
I love the darling little bears popping out of the frosting on these cookies. They would be so fun to create for a classroom field trip or preschool outing.
