I love this dessert because it has many uses. First, it’s a fun winter food craft for the kids. Second, we are huge Eric Carle Fans and it reminds me of the Brown Bear book. Finally, it fits perfectly for a bear theme party. Have fun making these cookies from scratch. The recipe yields about 36 cookies. If you are in a pinch for time, use a sugar cookie package mix.

Ingredients:

Chocolate Frosting Ingredients:


Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Combine the flour and baking powder and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl combine the butter, sugar, egg, sour cream and vanilla. Slowly fold in the flour and baking powder mixture.
  4. Scoop the cookie dough into 2″ balls and place about 2″ a part on a large baking sheet. Use a flat bottom glass to gently press (flatten) each dough ball to about 1/4″. Consider laying on parchment paper.
  5. Bake 6-8 minutes.
  6. Once the cookies have cooled, generously frost each one with chocolate frosting and set aside.
  7. Place 2 chocolate candy melts on the cookie for the bears ears.
  8. Give each cookie 2 eyes.
  9. Place 1 mini Nilla Wafer on the bottom of the cookie for the bear’s snout.
  10. Place a small dab of chocolate frosting on the brown M&M’s and give the bear a nose.

*Makes approximately 36 cookies
