INSTRUCTIONS
1. In large bowl, combine brown sugar and butter; beat until light and
fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; blend well.
2. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In medium bowl,
combine flour, oats and baking soda; mix well. Add to brown sugar mixture;
blend well. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour for easier
handling.
3. Heat oven to 375*F. For each bear, form two 1/2 inch balls and one 1 1/2
inch ball. Place the large ball on ungreased cookie sheet; place smaller
pieces on top to form ears. Flatten dough slightly; crimp edges with fork.
Repeat with remaining dough, placing large balls of dough 3 inches apart on
cookie sheets.
4. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes;
remove from cookie sheets. Cool 10 minutes or until completely cooled.
5. To decorate, use small round tip on decorator icing; pipe icing on each
cookie for eyes and mouth. For nose, use small amount of icing to secure
M&M on cookie. Let icing set before storing. Store in lightly covered
container.
2 dozen large cookies.
