Ingredients
Before we get started, here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips (for decoration)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (for decoration)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delightful Teddy Bear Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and salt until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, beating well until combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- With a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave enough space between each cookie for spreading.
- Use extra dough to form teddy bear ears by placing small balls on either side of the cookie for those cute little ears!
- Press chocolate chips into the center for the eyes and use mini marshmallows for the noses.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, your Teddy Bear Cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them at your next gathering, and watch as they quickly disappear. With their adorable shape and delicious flavor, these cookies are sure to become a favorite in your household. Happy baking!
