Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 36 almonds

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Cream together the butter and sugar with a mixer until smooth.
• Beat in the vanilla extract and egg.
• In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt and mix well.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little at a time, beating together.
• When its all mixed in, wet your hands and knead it by hand until it has a good dough consistency.
• Immediately roll small batches out onto a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick, then cut out the teddy bear shapes with a cookie cutter. (Dont chill the dough)
• Set the shapes on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Use a toothpick to make the teddy bear face. Then add an almond diagonally to each shape and press it down slightly into the dough. Use a toothpick to lift up each arm and press it around the almond to look like the teddy bear is hugging the almond.
• Bake at 350F for 10 minutes, or until edges are very slightly golden.
