Ingredients

You only need 3 ingredients for this recipe:

  • Flour: All-purpose flour to help with rolling out the dough
  • Almonds (optional): Use whole, unblanched almonds if you want to create the football theme for game day.

How to Make Teddy Bear Cookies

To make them, simply flour a work surface and put the dough onto it. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to about 3/16-inch (5 mm) thick.

Then go to work making the cookies out of the dough. Use a teddy bear cookie cutter to make the shapes. Then use a toothpick to make the eyes and nose. To create a game day theme, place an almond in the middle and wrap the arms around it slightly.
