Honey tiny teddy recipe

This recipe makes 50–80 mini teddies, depending on your cookie cutter size — enough for a full week's worth of snacks for two kids.

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 2/3 cup honey

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 2–4 tbsp milk (as needed)

• Natural sprinkles, for topping

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a tray with baking paper.

2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk the softened butter, honey, and vanilla until smooth.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.

   • You want a soft dough that holds together easily but isn’t sticky. If it feels too wet or sticky, add a little more flour (1 tablespoon at a time) until it’s easy to roll out. If you stick to the 2-4 tbsp of milk it should be the perfect consistency.

5. Fold in sprinkles or leave them to sprinkle on top after cutting the shapes.

6. Roll the dough out to about 1/4” thick. Cut into mini shapes using your favorite cookie cutters.

7. Arrange on the lined tray, top with sprinkles (if you haven’t added them already), and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until lightly golden.

8. Let cool completely — they’ll crisp up as they cool.
