3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup mini chocolate chips
Additional chocolate chips and candy eyes for decorating
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and egg, and beat until well combined.
- Combine the Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Shape the Teddy Bears: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough for the body, then smaller portions for the head and limbs. Assemble each bear on the baking sheet, adding chocolate chips for the nose and candy eyes.
