Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup margarine softened
1 cup brown sugar packed
2/3 cup corn syrup
2 large eggs
4 cups flour, all-purpose divided
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 x frosting optional

Directions

In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the peanut butter, margarine, brown sugar, corn syrup and eggs until smooth.

Reduce the speed; beat in 2 cups of the flour, the baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

With a spoon, stir in the remaining 2 cups flour.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Divide the dough in half.

On a floured surface, roll out half of the dough to 1/8-inch thick.

Cut with a floured bear cookie cutter.

Repeat with the remaining dough.

Place on ungreased cookie sheets.

Use scraps of dough to make bear faces.

Make one small ball of dough for the muzzle.

Form 3 smaller balls and press gently to create eyes and nose.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Remove from the cookie sheets; cool completely on wire racks.

If desired, use frosting to create paws, ears and bow ties.
