Ingredients
You only need 3 ingredients for this recipe:
- Sugar cookie dough: I used Pillsbury, but you can use any decent quality refrigerated dough here so pick your favorite. If you want to make it from scratch, follow the recipe for thumbprint cookies.
- 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.
