INSTRUCTIONS:

• Start with the cookie crust. In a mixing bowl, add softened unsalted butter and light brown sugar, and mix until combined. Then pour in all-purpose flour and mix until crumbled dough forms.

• Transfer the dough to a working surface and knead it together until a solid round of dough forms. Place it in between 2 pieces of parchment paper and roll flat. Cut circles with the cookie cutter (you should get around 16 cutouts). Let the dough cool in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 425F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.
• Now make the cream puff pastry. Combine water, butter, and salt in a medium saucepan. Heat until the butter has melted and then bring it to a rolling boil. Add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously.

• Return the pan to the stove and cook over medium heat, continuing to stir until the mixture is smooth. You should be able to form a ball of dough.
• Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer and beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. (The mixture will look curdled at first, but once you add all the eggs in and continue mixing it, it will smooth out).

• Add batter to a piping bag. Pipe 2″ circle onto the prepared baking sheets. Space them about 3-4″ apart so they have room to expand.

• Take the cookie crust dough out from the fridge and place each circle gently on top of the piped cream puffs. (This technique allows the cookie to become a crust).

• Bake the pastries for 20-25 minutes or until they’re a medium golden brown. (Remember not to open the oven door while they’re baking or they may deflate).
• Remove the puffs from the oven and place them on a rack to cool.
• Now make the honey whipped cream filling. Pour the cream into a mixing bowl and begin to whip it on high speed with a whisk attachment for about 5 minutes. Add honey, vanilla, and a couple drops of yellow food coloring and mi it on low speed until it’s just incorporated.

• Fill a pastry bag with your filling. Carefully slice off the top of each cream puff and fill the center using a large, round piping tip (#1A) inserted into a pastry bag. Fill each until a round mound forms that’s the shape of Pooh’s head. Using another pastry bag fitted with a smaller round tip (#8), pipe 2 ears on the top of his head and 2 feet on the bottom. Then place the top layer of pastry onto Pooh’s head.

• Using melted dark chocolate, draw Pooh’s facial features with a toothpick.

Enjoy!
