How to Make Bear Paws
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 large egg, mixing until a dough forms. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Press each ball into a bear paw mold.
- Place the molded cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- While still warm, roll the cookies in 1/4 cup vanilla sugar (mix granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract).
