If you're looking for a quick, proven, and truly delicate Christmas cookie, this recipe will be a sure hit.

For 45 portions

Ingredients

Dough:

250 g semi-coarse flour
2 sachets of Zlatý klas (2 × 40 g)
200 g powdered sugar
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons milk
160 g Hera or butter
a pinch of salt

To finish:

powdered sugar for coating

Preparation procedure

Making the dough Mix the flour, powdered sugar, Zlatý klas and salt in a bowl. Add the egg yolks, softened fat and milk. Work by hand until you have a smooth, non-sticky dough. Let it rest briefly in the fridge while the oven preheats.
Shaping Press the dough into dry bear paw molds. There's no need to grease the molds – the dough contains enough fat.
Baking Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for approximately 10–15 minutes. As soon as the edges start to turn lightly golden, the paws are done. Immediately after baking, turn them out and let them cool.
Finishing While still warm, you can coat the paws in powdered sugar. After they have cooled, store them in a tin, where they will soften nicely.
