BEAR'S PAW BISCUITS
At Christmas time, as in many Germanic and Eastern European countries, many type of Christmas biscuits or "Cukrovi" are made. This traditional Czech recipe is shaped as a bear's paw and is called "medvedi tlapicky". This version is a slightly Americanised version with the addition of a chocolate coating and the almond "claws". Traditionally the biscuits are simply covered in vanilla icing sugar. This version is the tastiest we've found so far.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C / 160C fan oven / gas mark 4.
- Thoroughly grease 3 bear paw moulds or madeleine pans with butter.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cinnamon, cloves, cocoa powder, and nuts. Add to butter-sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly.
- Press dough into prepared pans and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the edges are turning slightly brown.
- Allow to cool completely.
- Melt chocolate on a bain-marie (bowl sitting on a pan of boiling water). Hold each cookie by the "heel" and dip the top front end of the "paw" into chocolate, and then place on waxed or parchment paper.
- Insert four almond "claws" into paw while the chocolate is still wet and let the chocolate hardened completely.
- Store covered in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature before you begin. This will help the cookies to cream together properly and will result in a more tender cookie.
- Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing can result in a tough cookie.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and will prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Overbaking can result in dry, crumbly cookies.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
