Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 units large egg
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups mini chocolate chips
- 30 pieces miniature chocolate candies (for eyes, noses, or buttons)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough for each teddy bear and roll into a ball. Use slightly less dough to form two smaller balls for the ears. Attach the smaller balls to the larger ball to create the bear’s head and ears.
Place the shaped cookie dough on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Use chocolate candies to create the teddy bear's eyes, nose, or buttons by gently pressing them into the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are set. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft and chewy.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Cheery Chocolate Teddy Bear Cookies with a glass of milk or store them in an airtight container for up to one week. Enjoy!
