Peanut Butter Paw Puppy Cookies: A Delightful Recipe for Humans and endorsed by Calypso my Labrador!
Hello and Happy Holidays from Bucks County! As we step into the holiday season, there's an undeniable air of warmth and joy that surrounds us. This November, let's kick off the festivities with a delightful recipe that's not just for us but shaped into fun paw prints!! I'm excited to share with you a special treat that has become a favorite in our household—Peanut Butter Paw Puppy Cookies!
Ingredients:
½ cup butter softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar packed
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
48 melting chocolate disks
144 chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. ½ cup butter,1 cup creamy peanut butter,1 cup granulated sugar,½ cup light brown sugar
Add the eggs and vanilla, stirring to mix. 2 large eggs,½ teaspoon vanilla extract
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt. 2 cups all-purpose flour,2 teaspoons baking soda,½ teaspoon salt
Add flour mixture to peanut butter mixture and mix until just combined.
Scoop slightly rounded tablespoonsful of dough onto a sheet pan leaving two inches between the balls of dough, a small cookie scoop works well for this. Roll balls of dough in additional granulated sugar if desired, otherwise roll them between your hands until they are a smooth ball.
Bake for 7-9 minutes. The cookies should look puffy and soft but set.
Press 1 chocolate wafer into the lower center portion of each cookie, then add 3 chocolate chips to make a paw-shaped pattern.
Move cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Allow chocolate to reset before stacking for storage
We used Ghirardelli milk chocolate melting disks for the center of the paw. The size is perfect and they taste amazing.
Why Peanut Butter Paw Puppy Cookies?
Now, you might be wondering why they're called "Puppy Cookies" Well, it's all about the love we share with our four-legged companions! These cookies are not for your canine family, but cute as any paw you have prancing around during the holidays, just eat them and make sure to give your pups cookies you make from pet-friendly ingredients. I will do another blog this week for my favorite canine cookies so they stay healthy!
