? Bear Paw Cookies are soft and chewy and ultra adorable too! What makes them even better? they’re super easy and fun to make! ?
Its such a simple and easy recipe that everyone is sure to love and swoon over how adorable they are.
The kids love helping press the chocolate into the cookies to ‘make’ them into bear paws!
These cute bear paw sugar cookies are simply fantastic! Not only are they the perfect consistency but they have a wonderful buttery goodness! They’re soft centered yet chewy!
You can make them for bake sales (watch everyone go crazy over them) or to send them with the kids to school for Valentines Day parties in their class! gift them, wrap them or just eat them all immediately as dessert with a huge glass of milk or with morning coffee..hey, I dont judge 😉
They’re wont be any leftovers, I promise because because they will call out your name as you walk by the container lol
They will keep at room temp for up to 5 days in a airtight container.
