Preparation time:
20 mins
Cooking time:
20 mins
Serves:
14
Ingredients
250g unsalted butter, at room temperature, chopped
1 cup caster sugar
2 eggs
2/3 cup desiccated coconut
3 cups self-raising flour
2 tblsps cocoa powder, sifted
1/4 cup Dark Choc Melts, melted
Mini M&Ms, to decorate
Method
1. Beat butter and sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. Stir in coconut and flour to form a smooth dough.
2. Divide dough in half. Place one half in a bowl and stir in sifted cocoa to make chocolate dough.
3. To make bear heads, roll 14 level tblsps of light dough into balls. Place, 6cm apart, onto two large oven trays lined with baking paper. Using your hands, gently push down balls to flatten slightly.
4. To make bear bodies, roll 14 level tblsps of chocolate dough into balls. Place against heads and gently push down to flatten slightly.
5. Roll 56 level tsps, from both doughs, into balls. Place against bear bodies to represent arms and legs. Roll 28 level 1 / 2 tsps, from both doughs, into balls. Place against bear heads to represent ears.
6. Cook biscuits, one tray at a time, in a moderate oven (180C) for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through. Cool bears on trays.
7. To decorate bears, pour dark chocolate into a small snap-lock bag, squeeze into one corner, twist bag and snip tip. Attach mini M&Ms with melted chocolate to represent eyes. Pipe on chocolate nose and mouth. Put aside to set.
