Ingredients
- ½ cup 115g unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup 100g brown sugar
- ¼ cup 50g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups 180g all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup 130g mini chocolate chips
- Extra mini chocolate chips or chocolate-covered candies for decorating
Instructions
Prep Oven and Pan
- I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup with these Chocolate Chip Teddy Bear Cookies.
Cream Butter and Sugars
- In a large bowl, I beat ½ cup softened butter, ½ cup brown sugar, and ¼ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, creating a soft base for these chocolate chip treats.
Add Egg and Vanilla
- I mix in 1 egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract, beating until smooth for these fun-shaped cookies.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, I whisk 1½ cups flour, ½ tsp baking soda, and ¼ tsp salt, ensuring even distribution for these adorable bear cookies.
Combine Wet and Dry
- I gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined to keep these chocolate chip treats tender.
Fold in Chocolate Chips
- I gently fold in ¾ cup mini chocolate chips with a spatula, spreading chocolatey goodness throughout these fun-shaped cookies.
Shape Teddy Bears
- For each bear, I roll 1 tbsp dough for the head and two ½ tsp balls for ears, pressing ears onto the head on the baking sheet for these adorable bear cookies.
Decorate Faces
- I add mini chocolate chips or candies for eyes, nose, and buttons, pressing gently to secure before baking these chocolate chip treats.
Chill and Bake
- I chill the shaped cookies for 10–15 minutes to hold their shape, then bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are lightly golden for these fun-shaped cookies.
Cool and Serve
- I cool the cookies on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to set the adorable faces of these Chocolate Chip Teddy Bear Cookies.
Notes
- To prevent spreading, chill shaped cookies before baking.
- Decorate with mini M&Ms or chocolate pearls for extra charm.
- Great for baking with kids!
