These cookies are delicious! You can't just eat one! These don't need to be rolled out real thin either!

What You Need

3/4

cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened

3/4

cup packed brown sugar

pkg. (3.9 oz.) JELL-O Chocolate Instant Pudding

egg

1-3/4

cups flour

tsp. baking soda

oz. BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate

Decorations: assorted small candies, raisins, sprinkles, colored sugars, JET PUFFED Mini Marshmallows

Make It

HEAT oven to 350°F.

BEAT first 4 ingredients in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Mix flour and baking soda; gradually add to pudding mixture, beating well after each addition. Shape into ball.

ROLL out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch-thickness. Cut out dough using 4-inch bear-shaped cookie cutter; place, 2 inches apart, on greased baking sheets. Reroll scraps and use to cut additional cookies. Decorate with small candies, raisins or sprinkles for eyes, mouth and buttons, pressing decorations lightly into dough to secure.

BAKE 12 to 14 min. or until slightly firm. Let stand on baking sheets 2 min.; remove to wire racks. Cool completely.

MELT chocolate; spread onto bottom halves of bears for the pants or skirts. Use remaining chocolate to attach remaining decorations. Let stand until chocolate is firm.
