Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Decoration:
- Mini chocolate chips for decoration
- Chocolate-covered candies or mini M&Ms for noses
- Optional candy eyes
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare cookie dough: In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Shape cookies: Chill dough for 30 minutes to make shaping easier. Roll dough into 1-inch balls for teddy bear heads and use smaller balls for ears and snouts, attaching them gently. Place on prepared baking sheets spaced apart. Use mini chocolate chips for eyes and press a candy piece or mini M&M into each snout for the nose.
- Bake and cool: Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape.
- You can use peanut butter cookie dough instead of chocolate chip for a different flavor.
- Decorate with royal icing details once cooled for extra cuteness.
