Method to Prepare
- Begin the process by heating the oven at 375°F.

- Shape a one-inch ball for the body. Then, shape one ¾ inch ball for the head, four ½ inch balls for arms and legs, and two smaller balls for ears.
- Place the body ball on an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten it. Attach arms, legs, head, and ear. Make claws using a fork.
- Slide the baking sheet into the oven for around 8 minutes of the baking session until the body is set.
- Once done, take them out of the oven and let them cool for about one minute on the baking sheet. Then, remove the teddy cookies and let them cool completely.
- Serve them and enjoy your day!
