Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon vinegar
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup milk
Additional
- Additional creamy peanut butter for sandwiching treats
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl or using a stand mixer, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, vinegar, creamy peanut butter, egg, honey, and milk. Beat the mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Shape Cookies: Lightly dust your countertop with flour. Pat the dough out into a large rectangle approximately 1 inch thick. Using a 1 1/2 inch circle cookie cutter, cut the dough into circles, making sure to use all the dough.
- Bake Cookies: Place the cut cookies on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies have a uniform lightened color on top. Note that the cookies lighten in color as they bake instead of darkening.
- Cool Completely: Transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely to firm up.
- Assemble Treats: When ready to serve, spread a small amount of creamy peanut butter on the underside of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie. This creates a delicious peanut butter sandwich treat your dog will love.
- Storage Tips: Store the cookies separately without peanut butter. Add fresh peanut butter and sandwich just before giving to your dog to keep treats fresh for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter, as chunky varieties can be difficult to mix into the dough.
- Ensure the peanut butter does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- Make sure cookies are completely cooled before sandwiching with peanut butter to prevent melting and mess.
- Store treats in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for longevity.
- You can freeze the plain cookies to extend shelf life and thaw as needed.
