Traditional Bosnian Šape (Paw Cookies) – Melt-in-Your-Mouth Walnut Cookies Recipe

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate with stevia

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate

Stevia reduces sugar content.

walnuts

🥗Healthier: almonds

💰Cheaper: pecans

Almonds are often less expensive and provide similar crunch.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: applesauce

Flaxseed meal can replace eggs in baking.

Beat butter, sugar and vanilla until creamy.

Add oil and water.

Keep mixing on lowest speed.

In a separate bowl whisk flour and baking powder.

Gradually add to the butter mixture while mixing on a low speed.

Add ground walnuts and mix just until ingredients are incorporated.

Place the tins on cookie sheets and bake 22-25 minutes.

While still warm turn the tins upside down as it will be easier to remove the cookies from the tins.

Once the cookies cool down, squeeze a tin just a little and the cookie should come out easily.

Roll cookies in powdered sugar.
