3/4 cup butter or margarine,
softened
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 (3.25-ounce) package Jell-O Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding
& Pie Filling
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
3 squares Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate
Decorations, such as: assorted small candies, raisins, sprinkles,
colored sugars or Jet Puffed Mini Marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Beat butter, sugar, dry
pudding mix and egg in large bowl with electric mixer on medium
speed until well blended.
Combine remaining dry
ingredients. Gradually add to pudding mixture, beating until
well blended after each addition. Form into ball. (Refrigerate
for up to 1 hour if dough is too soft to roll out.)
Roll out dough on lightly
floured surface to 1/4-inch-thickness. Cut out dough using 4-inch
"bear" cookie cutter or other 4-inch holiday cookie
cutter; place on greased baking sheets. Reroll scraps and use
to cut additional cookies as needed.
Decorate cutouts with
small candies, raisins or sprinkles for eyes, mouth and buttons,
pressing in lightly.
Bake 12 to 14 minutes
or until slightly firm.
Remove from baking sheets.
Cool on wire racks.
Melt chocolate in microwavable
bowl on MEDIUM for 2 minutes.
Spread on bottom half
of bears for pants or skirts; use as "glue" to attach
more decorations.
Makes 20 servings.
