GUMMY BEAR COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, butter and egg just until a dough forms.
• Scoop and roll dough into 36 (1-inch) balls; space about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Using thumb or forefinger, make a deep indent in the center of each cookie. You want the indent to be as deep as possible without making a hole in the bottom of the cookie. Transfer baking sheets to fridge for 20 minutes or freezer for 10 minutes to firm up dough.
• Bake cookies 8 to 10 minutes until nearly done. Lightly press 1 gummy bear candy into the indent of each cookie, then bake cookies another 2 minutes until gummy bear is fully melted and cookie is set.
• Cool cookies 3 minutes on cookie sheets, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• In a small bowl, heat white chocolate chips in microwave on high for 1 minute; stir, then heat in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, just until chips are melted and smooth. Transfer mixture to a resealable plastic bag and snip off one edge. Drizzle white chocolate over fully cooled cookies. Allow icing to set completely before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Add egg yolks, one at a time. Stir in vanilla extract. Mix in flour and salt, stirring until completely combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set in the freezer for 10 minutes. (This is will help prevent cracks when you make the center cavity.) 2. While the cookie dough is in the freezer, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or Silpat!). 3. Using a small cookie scoop, roll cookies into tablespoon-sized balls. Arrange cookies 1-1/2 inches apart on the cookie sheet. Using your thumb, press a deep hole in the middle of the cookie. Make it deep and wide enough so the gummy bears don’t spill out, but not so deep that you crack the sides of the cookie too much. (You’ll get the hang of it after a few tries.) 4. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies look almost done. Open the oven and pull the cookie sheet out enough to be able to reach the back row of cookies. Place a single gummy bear in each cookie cavity. Return cookie sheet back to oven and bake until the bottoms are golden brown. The gummy bears will melt completely in about two minutes, so know your oven! 5. Let cookies cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
