So we’re having a fundraiser for the SPCA & Humane Society at work tomorrow. And since its National Cupcake Day<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, people are to bring cupcakes. Since I wanted to limit the temptation to eat the cupcakes, while we’re being good, I offered to bring homemade dog biscuits for those with furbabies. It is funds for the SPCA after all.<\/p>\n

I also have had this dog cookie cookbook and 3 sizes of cookie cutters sitting in my cupboard for a few years. I chose the peanut butter ones because we have a jar of natural (unsalted, no sugar) peanut butter that needed some using up.<\/p>\n

The recipe did mention that the dough was a “little tricky to work with”…. what I did not realize, was that it should have said “a royal pain in the ass to work with.” Its dry. Really dry. I had to add water, little bits at a time to make it stick together. It was very crumbly as a texture and there was no kneading for 2 minutes as recommended in the recipe. Once it was wet enough it was okay, though still had to give a verrrry light dusting of flour so the roller didn’t stick and keep ripping chunks out.<\/p>\n

I know its totally against the grain for a dough which you usually want cold, but I am seriously thinking of giving just a 10 second nuke next time just to get the pb warm and a touch melty.<\/p>\n

I know all that sounds like I’m trying to discourage you from making them, but once you get over the weirdness of working with crumbly pb dough, they do make a nice cookie, and frankly Maggie loved them, and I would make them again for that reason alone.<\/p>\n
