Chocolate Bear Paws

Inspired by the legendary bear Mor’du and Merida's favorite tales, these rich, chocolaty cookies are tipped with slivered almond claws.

Prep Time 15 min | Cook Time 10 min

Ingredients

  • Small heavy saucepan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Electric mixer
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped into pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Slivered almonds
  • Disposable food prep gloves (for shaping the cookies)
  • Spatula
  • Cooling rack

Directions

  1. Melt the butter and chocolate in a small heavy saucepan on the stovetop over low heat, stirring continually. Set the melted chocolate aside to cool slightly.

  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium-size mixing bowl. Set the mixture aside for now.    

  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together with an electric mixer at high speed until light and airy, about 3 or so minutes. Blend in the vanilla extract and semi-cooled chocolate.      

  4. Stir the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture one half at a time. When the dough is evenly mixed (it will be fairly soft), cover the bowl with plastic and set it in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours.    

  5. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. For the first cookie, roll a 1-inch ball of dough for the front of the bear paw and a half-inch ball for the heel. Gently press the two balls together and set them atop the parchment paper-topped baking sheet. Flatten the dough a bit with your thumb. For claws, insert five slivered almonds partway into the dough at the front of the paw. Continue making cookies in this manner, spacing them apart on the baking sheet.    

  6. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes and then transfer them to a rack to cool before serving.
