Cinnamon Bear Cookies

I struggled over whether or not to post this Cinnamon Bear Cookie recipe. I cook and bake a lot more than you see on this blog. However,I only post the things that I think taste really good, look really nice, and photography perfectly. #1 is generally not a problem. However, I'm not not good at presentation!
These are a little rustic and imperfect, but I'm trying to be less of a perfectionist, so here they are!
I'd like to tell you my kids made these cinnamon bears, but my now you know I don't have any!! 🙂
Regardless these sweet cinnamon bear cookis will look adorable on a cookie tray. Best enjoyed with a homemade cinnamon coffee yum!

Oh my goodness, these are SO ADORABLE!!!! What a cute idea!!!
These look cute and yummy! I think they photographed great, too.
Thanks so much Keri 🙂
These are so cute!!! Thank you for sharing at Simple Supper Tuesday.
Thank you Cindy!
These are so, so cute! My mom used to make cinnamon raisin teddy bears rolls. The cookies would be much easier! I can't wait to do these with my boys. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a great day!
Thanks so much Brooke!
i would just eat too many if i made them..uughh
These are adorable!!
These are good. I made half with chocolate chips and half with butterscotch chips. Thanks for the recipe.
I'd hate to miss out on a great recipe because of some photos! Yours are just fine and I love the recipe! Thanks for taking a chance and sharing!
What a cute idea .
I love the idea that these are not chocolate or frosted or any of the usual flavors. I think a cinnamon cookie is just right for my cookie plate ..thanks so much
Your bears are the cutest little guys ever.
Do NOT ever criticize your photography or presentation! This was perfect. I tried to photograph a 3D Halloween goodie and got a backdrop of the sofa, cat toys, carpet, etc. Geez..... Not as easy as it looks.
Just seeing these now, Dec. 22nd, and have to have cookies ready by tomorrow, but I'll definitely be saving the photo and recipe for next year. Who wouldn't want a cutie pie bear like this on their cookie tray?
Thanks Tavette -hugs-
These cookies look so cute...and delicious too. These cookies definitely make a great Christmas treat. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
These are just too cute!
Thanks for the Post, Picture's and the Recipe!
These bears are so cute and have such personality! Cinnamon bear cookies would perk up any cookie platter. 🙂 Are these a soft or a crunchy cookie?
Hi Wendy,
Thanks so much! 🙂
They are more on the crunchy side
