Teddy Bear Cookies Recipe
This recipe only calls for a few ingredients and if you use an easy bag cookie mix, it's a total breeze!
Your favorite recipe for sugar cookies (we used an instant mix)
- 4-5 oz. light brown fondant**
- pink fondant
- black fondant
Circular cookie cutter, about 1.5 inches in diameter
A small bowl of water
**To achieve a light brown shade, add 2 small drops of brown gel food coloring into 4-5 oz. of white fondant and knead until completely tinted
Prepare cookies according to recipe’s directions.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven according to your sugar cookie’s recipe.
Roll out the cookie dough until it’s about ⅓ of an inch thick.
Using the circular cookie cutter, cut one dozen circles from your cookie dough. Place them gently on your lined baking sheet.
Bake the cookies according to the recipe’s directions and allow them to cool completely before decorating.
Roll out the brown fondant until it’s about ¼ of an inch thick.
Use a circle cookie cutter to cut out 12 fondant circles and press one fondant circle on top of each cookie.
To assemble your bear:
Roll out 2 small spheres out of the brown fondant, about ⅓ of an inch in size. Flatten each one out until it’s a circle that’s ½ an inch in size.
Roll out 2 small spheres out of the pink fondant, about ¼ of an inch in size. Flatten each one and press it onto the brown fondant circles.
Place them on top of your cookie - these will act as the bear’s ears.
Next, roll out a piece of brown fondant, about 1 inch in size and flatten it to create a smooth circle for the bear's nose, about 1 inch in diameter.
Place it on the lower middle portion of the cookie.
Bear Cookies
Roll out one small pink sphere, about ⅓ of an inch in size. Flatten slightly and place it in the center on the one inch circle that was just secured on the cookie. This will act as the bear’s nose.
For the bear's eyes - Roll out 2 black fondant circles, about ¼ of an inch in size. Place both just above the one-inch circle.
Roll out one small black fondant strip and give it an arch. Place it just underneath the nose - this will act like the bear’s smile.
Use a paring knife to score the little lines down the middle of the round fondant base. These will act as the bear’s “sewed stitches.”
Optional tip: brush some water on the back of the fondant pieces to help secure them on the cookie.
