I have loved this recipe since I was little (in the 80s)...one important thing allrecipes leaves out is CHILL DOUGH FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS before trying to make the bears. Overnight is best. Read More

I'm not sure what I did wrong. I made these for my son's AWANA Cubbies group. I thought they were very cute and the kids would love them. However even my 4year old son who generally loves any kind of cookie wouldn't eat them. Yes the dough was easy to work with and they were adorable but my husband asked me if the dough was store bought. I won't make them again. Read More

This one is time consuming alright and the taste is good but not fantastic. They look so very cute though. So what I have done to make them carry their weight in trouble is use one or two bears as the top cookies in gift cookie tins or bags containing decorated sugar cookies or some other less designer intensive cookie. The little bear acts as emcee for the treasures by which he is surrounded.;o) Read More

I've loved this recipe ever since I first tried it back in junior high school! It's a simple recipe with common "on-hand" ingredients. It's a little putzy as it takes some time to shape the cookies. But kids love to help and the cookies are super-cute (and super yummy)! I usually save these for special occasions because of the time involved. They make a wonderful holiday tradition! Read More

I have read and reread this recipe trying to figure out where I went wrong...and I followed it to a "T". It resulted in a crumbly mess that could not be used to make much of anything. I managed to shape the majority of it into small flattened ball-shaped cookies that did have a fudgy quality to them. I would not make again. Read More
