Bear oatmeal cookies

Instructions

• Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder and cinnamon, set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream together the butter, brown sugar and sugar until fully incorporated. Add the egg and vanilla and mic together.
• Add the flour mixture and mix until combined and then mix in the oats.
• Scoop the dough out and shape into balls (you’ll need 8 big ones for the faces and 16 smaller ones for the ears of the bears).
• Place the cookies on a baking sheet with parchment/wax paper making the form of the bears using the cookie dough (spacing them 2-inches apart) let the cookie dough in the fridge for 20-30 min so that the cookie dough is cold and the shapes of the bears are kept when baking.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 170C/338F for 12 to 15 mins.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet (they need to set up before being transferred).
• Melt the chocolate in a piping bag (I just dip the piping bag with the chocolate in hot water and it melts easily) and make the bear’s faces.
  
  *You can use a ziploc bag as a piping bag by cutting off one end of the bag.
