    Pillsbury Bars & Cookies


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
    • 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla
    • 2 eggs
    • 2 1/4 cups Pillsbury BEST All Purpose Flour
    • 2 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • Brown or chocolate decorator icing
    • Red miniature candy-coated chocolate pieces


    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 at 375 F. 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 candy-coated chocolate piece on cookie. Let icing set before storing. Stor in tightly covered container.
