Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup oil
- 2 tbsp water
Toppings
- Slivered almonds
- Chocolate candy melts or Reese’s mini cups (or similar small chocolate candies)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Prepare Brownie Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the boxed brownie mix, egg, oil, and water until the batter is smooth and well blended.
- Scoop the Dough: Using a spoon, scoop out portions of the brownie batter onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Shape Bear Claws: Shape the tops of each scoop into toes by pinching the batter with your fingers, creating a claw-like look. Press slivered almonds into the ‘toes’ to resemble claws.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are just set but still soft.
- Add Chocolate Candy: Immediately after baking, press a chocolate candy melt or similar candy into the center of each cookie with the back side facing up to create the bear paw pad.
Notes
- Do not overbake; the cookies should be soft and fudgy like brownies.
- If you do not have slivered almonds, sliced almonds or chopped nuts can be used as an alternative.
- You can experiment with different types of chocolate candies for the center decoration.
- Make sure to grease the cookie sheet lightly to prevent sticking.
- Allow cookies to cool slightly before removing from the baking sheet to maintain shape.
