Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pink or red food coloring

1 cup white chocolate or white candy melts, melted

1/4 cup milk chocolate, melted

2 tablespoons pink heart sprinkles


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and food coloring until fully combined.

5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until a soft dough forms.

6. Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets and shape each into a round bear face.

7. Add two small dough pieces at the top of each round to form the ears, pressing gently so they attach well.

8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are just baked through.

9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Pipe or spoon melted white chocolate onto each cookie to create the muzzle and ear centers.

11. Use melted milk chocolate to add the nose and mouth details.

12. Finish with pink heart sprinkles near the cheeks and let the decoration set before serving.

Notes

Do not decorate the cookies while they are still warm, or the chocolate details can melt, slide, and lose the clean bear face shape.
