Bear Cookie Pops

1 pouch (1 pound 1.5 ounces) peanut butter cookie mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
12 wooden sticks with rounded ends
24 flat round candies (1/2 inch in diameter)
12 Kisses milk chocolates, unwrapped
1 tube (0.68) red decorating gel

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Stir cookie mix, oil and egg in medium bowl until soft dough forms. Shape dough into 12 balls, using 1 1/2 tablespoons dough for each. Place balls about 4 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Shape remaining dough into 24 balls, using 1 teaspoon dough for each.

Insert stick into side of each large ball; place 2 small balls next to each large ball for ears. Press balls evenly until about 1/4 inch thick. Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Add 2 flat candies on each cookie for eyes and 1 chocolate candy for nose, using gel to attach. Squeeze on gel for mouth. Makes 12 cookie pops
