Brown Bear Cookies

Pin to Pinterest

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:

6 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cups sour cream
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Chocolate Frosting Ingredients:

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Combine the flour and baking powder and set aside.
In a large bowl combine the butter, sugar, egg, sour cream and vanilla. Slowly fold in the flour and baking powder mixture.
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.
Bake 6-8 minutes.
Once the cookies have cooled, generously frost each one with chocolate frosting and set aside.
Place 2 chocolate candy melts on the cookie for the bears ears.
Give each cookie 2 eyes.
Place 1 mini Nilla Wafer on the bottom of the cookie for the bear’s snout.
Place a small dab of chocolate frosting on the brown M&M’s and give the bear a nose.

*Makes approximately 36 cookies

Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough Hearts

Pin to Pinterest

Is anyone else a cookie dough eater? What is it about this sweet treat. Often my cookies get eaten raw before the make it to the oven to bake. We have the perfect treat for the cookie dough and chocolate lover! These Cookie Dough Hearts are the perfect treat. Serve for Valentine’s Day or any ole’ reason. Enjoy!

Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough Hearts:

Yields: 25 – 35 hearts (may vary depending on size of cookie cutter used)
Total Time: 20 minutes + 30 minutes cool time = 50 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup flour
2 tablespoons flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons water
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups milk chocolate chips
Optional: decorative sprinkles

Directions:

Combine flour, baking soda, salt, sugars, softened butter and vanilla extract in a large bowl. With clean hands, work the dough. Add 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and continue to work the dough until chocolate chips are incorporated. One tablespoon at a time, add water if needed to get the desired consistency.
Lay a piece of parchment paper on a large flat surface (baking sheet or cutting board works well). Place the dough onto the parchment paper and spread it out evenly until the thickness reaches approximately 1/2”.
Place the cookie dough in the fridge to cool for 20 minutes.
Once cooled, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts from the dough (smaller cookie cutters work best to make bite sized pieces). Combine the scrap dough continually to make as many hearts as possible.
Once all dough is used, place 2 cups milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 15-20 seconds, stir and continue this process until chocolate is completely melted. Place one heart in the chocolate at a time and completely coat. Using a fork lift the cookie dough heart out of the chocolate – tapping the side of the bowl to ensure excess chocolate drips off. Place the chocolate covered heart back on the parchment paper, and quickly add sprinkles (if desired) while chocolate is still melted. Continue this process until all cookie dough hearts are covered in melted chocolate.
Chill in the fridge for 10 additional minutes and then serve.

*Cookie dough hearts should be stored in the refrigerator
