large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Combine
remaining dry ingredients. Gradually add to pudding mixture, beating until well
blended after each addition. Form into ball. (Refrigerate for up to 1 hour if
dough is too soft to roll out.) Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to
1/4-inch-thickness. Cut out dough using 4-inch "bear" cookie cutter or other

use to cut additional cookies as needed. Decorate cutouts with small candies,
raisins or sprinkles for eyes, mouth and buttons, pressing in lightly. Bake 12
to 14 minutes or until slightly firm. Remove from baking sheets. Cool on wire
racks. Melt chocolate in microwavable bowl on medium for 2 minutes. Spread on
bottom half of bears for pants or skirts; use as "glue" to attach more
decorations.
