Bear Paw Cookies




Source of Recipe


Chyrel


List of Ingredients




3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup shortening (such as Crisco)
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons ice water (should be almost frozen)
a little flour for work surface
preserves or mince meat (about 16 teaspoonsful)
1 egg white
cinnamon and sugar (enough to sprinkle on 16 cookies)
greased cookie sheet



Recipe



Preheat oven to 375° F. Mix cinnamon and sugar together and set aside. Mix flour and salt together, then blend in shortening. Knead
mixture as you add water one tablespoon at a time until mix forms a stiff dough. (You may need only 2 tablespoons water, so don't put
it in all at once.)

Flatten the dough on your work surface and sprinkle lightly with flour. With rolling pin roll the dough into a 10-inch square. Cut the
dough into about 16 2½" squares or larger if you prefer. Spoon 1 teaspoon preserves or mincemeat in center of each square.

Dip your finger in egg white and rub on edges of squares. Fold squares over covering the mincemeat and press together to seal. Place
on baking sheet. On each cookie make four small slits - cutting all the way through the cookie - along the seam and pull apart gently
just enough to open the paw.

Brush top of each cookie with egg white. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture and bake in oven about 10 minutes or until golden
brown. Cool on a wire rack. Makes about 16 cookies.
