Homemade Tiny Teddy Biscuits

As with most individually packaged snacks, Tiny Teddy’s are extremely expensive, $15.45/kg, or $0.39 per 25g packet. This Homemade Tiny Teddy Biscuits recipe makes 276 biscuits, the equivalent of 21 25g packets, for only $1.62. That’s $3.09/kg, or only $0.08 per 25g packet.

That’s a massive saving, and well worth the small amount of effort it takes to make these biscuits.

To make these Tiny Teddy biscuits, we purchased this 3 pack of cutters from Amazon, using the smallest cutter which is the closest in size to real Tiny Teddy’s.

The process of cutting so many shapes can be a little time consuming, so try rolling out the dough on sheets of baking paper, cutting out the shapes and then removing the excess dough from around the shapes. This avoids the need to move each teddy as you cut them.
