Gummy Bear Cookies Recipe
Gummy Bear cookie recipe
Equipment
- Cookie cutters in large and small sizes
- Parchment paper and baking sheets
- A chopstick and a spool of ribbon to create the ornaments
Ingredients
- A package of gummy bears
- A favorite cut-out cookie recipe
Instructions
- Mix the cookie recipe and chill per recipe instructions or at least 10 minutes.
- Roll out the cookie dough and use the cookie cutters to shape the cookies. Use the large cutters to cut out the outside shapes and the smaller ones to cut out the insides of each cookie, forming a window in between.
- If you plan to turn the cookies into ornaments, use a chopstick to poke a hole at the top of every cookie.
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees and bake the cookies for about 5 minutes. Pull out of the oven.
- Fill the cookie windows with two or three gummy bears depending on the size of the cookie. Use similar colored bears, or two colored and one white bear to get the tonal stained glass look. You can get crazy with lots of colors if you’d like, anything will be pretty.
- Place the cookies back into the oven and bake for another 2 minutes, checking on them often. The cookies are done when they turn light brown and the gummies have melted.
- Allow the cookies to fully cool before removing from parchment paper.
