Bitty Bear Cookies

Step 1

At least 1 day in advance: Make cookies. Prepare and roll out dough. Cut bears using cutter from set. Cut 2 x 1 1/4 in. wide triangle easel backs. Bake and cool. Use tip 2 and full-strength icing to outline features; bear in dark brown; tummy, muzzle and 4 paw pads in light brown; inner ears in green. Let set. Flow in using thinned color flow; let set.

Step 2

Decorate and assemble using full-strength icing. Use tip 1 to pipe dark brown stitches around light brown sections. Pipe tip 2 dots for inner ears, eyes and nose. Use tip 2 to outline and fill-in bow; add dot knot and pull-out streamers. Let set. Attach easel to back with full-strength icing; let set.
