Bear Paw Cookies
Description
These cookies start with a soft, creamed dough made from butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt are added to form a soft dough that is scooped into balls and baked on a lined sheet. The cookies bake at 350 degrees until lightly golden but still soft.
Once baked and cooled slightly, a melting wafer is placed in the center of each cookie to represent the paw’s pad. Three semi-sweet chocolate chips are arranged above to create claw shapes. This decoration adds a rich chocolate flavor and a whimsical design.
The texture is soft and tender with a slight sugar crust if rolled in extra sugar before baking. The vanilla provides a warm, mellow flavor. They can be served as a playful cookie for gatherings or everyday snacking.
