Instructions
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Chill the Dough
Divide the dough in half, wrap each in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading!
Shape the Bears
Roll out the dough and use a round cutter for the head. Use smaller pieces of dough to form the ears and snout. Press them gently onto the head.
Bake & Decorate
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes. Let cool completely, then use melted chocolate to draw the eyes and nose. Enjoy your adorable creations!
