Cream fat and 150 g sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer. Stir in the eggs one after the other. Mix flour, ground almonds, cocoa and baking powder and gradually stir into the fat-sugar mixture. Mix cinnamon and 1 tbsp. sugar. Grease the madeleine tray (12 troughs) well and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Fill the dough up to the rim into the wells and place on a baking tray.
Bake one after the other in a preheated oven (electric range: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: stage 2) for approx. 15 minutes. Carefully remove bear paws from the wells and let them cool on a cake rack. Do the same with the rest of the dough. In the meantime, roughly chop the chocolate coating and coconut oil and melt over a warm water bath. Dip the front third of the paws into the couverture. Place almond slivers as claws on the tips of the paws. Let the chocolate coating dry
