BEAR'S PAW BISCUITS



Bear's Paw Biscuits image

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.

Conclusion:

Bear paw cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy on the inside, and have a crispy, caramelized exterior. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these delicious cookies at home. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give bear paw cookies a try. You won't be disappointed.
