PB Puppy Treats
The puppies of the Pond love peanut butter.
Just the sound of a jar cracking open sends them barreling across the house. It’s the only thing that gets them out of a warm pile of laundry or that they leave their burrowed nests in our comforter for.
These are some peanut butter loving pups.
I don’t know where they got it from.
Naturally, for their second birthday last Friday, I made them peanut butter cookies. For puppies.
That’s right. For puppies.
After mixing only four ingrediants and rolling them out to cut into cute little shapes, 20 minutes later I had birthday puppy peanut butter cookies.
Butterflies for Bitty, and snails for Bear, in case you were curious.
The verdict?
They loved them.
They carried them off to their favorite hiding places…
They happily munched…
Smacked and chewed…
While Ben and I had peanut butter cookies. The human kind.
Peanut butter in the Pond for all!
So when it’s your puppy’s birthday…
Or an ordinary day you want to spruce up…
Bake some peanut butter puppy treats for them.
They’ll be delighted.
Peanut Butter Puppy Treats
(Otherwise known as Peanut butter puppy poppers from Bullwinkle.com)
2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth) (I used smooth, JIF).
1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 375′F. In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix peanut butter and milk, then add to dry ingredients and mix well. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Bake for 20 minutes on a greased baking sheet until lightly brown. Cool on a rack, then store in an airtight container.
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! Tomorrow we have a new Dallas Jean and Saturday, a new Land of the Flowered Bed tale! Stay tuned!

You are the best puppy mom ever!! I will keep these in mind when I get the dog I’m begging for.

Luckly puppies of the Pond! A mommy who make them peanut butter cookies is one really nice mom!

Hi there!
thanks for stopping by my blog ! your puppies are so cute! I look forward to following your blog! I am going to have to make those puppy treats for my dog, they look really simple and what dog doesn’t LOVE peanut butter
Have a great day!

My pug Angus loves PB too! We put some in a kong for him and call it “the babysitter” because he single mindedly goes at it for at least an hour. Your pups are so cute (and lucky) as they munch away!
February 4th, 2010 at 5:26 am
I don’t have a doggy anymore but, that would be a great idea to give as gifts…
February 4th, 2010 at 5:43 am
I think that is so sweet that you made them special treats! Thanks for the recipe…I’m sure mine will love them too!
February 4th, 2010 at 5:46 am
Your such a good doggie momma!!
February 4th, 2010 at 5:46 am
Meaning “you’re”. I hate when I do that.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:12 am
How sweet! They’re the luckiest puppies on the planet! I should try them out for my bulldog and llasa.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:39 am
Oh Em Gee! I love that you posted this recipe! My big dog, the Scoobinator 3000, looooves peanut butter. I usually mix it up with his crunchy food and shove it inside his Kong cone. It keeps him busy for a good 20 minutes. I need a bigger cone….

What a brilliant idea for doggy treats! I’m on the look out for a new dog, so I’m thinking of visiting a rescue centre soon.
Usually I always carry mints and I just can’t resist giving one to every dog that I happen to meet! Horses love them too!
February 4th, 2010 at 7:01 am
What a great Mommy you are! Bitty and Bear are so adorable!!!
February 4th, 2010 at 7:01 am
aww what a good mommy you are!
February 4th, 2010 at 7:09 am
Two of my dogs LOVE peanut butter. The third is actually allergic. Have you ever heard of such a thing? Crazy but so true.
Your babies couldn’t be any cuter!
February 4th, 2010 at 7:09 am
I wonder if I used potato flour if Sissy could have those?
February 4th, 2010 at 7:45 am
You are the best pet mommy ever!
February 4th, 2010 at 7:48 am
What a great idea! I’m sure my dog will love these treats!
Mmm… peanut butter cookies for adults – my mouth is watering1
February 4th, 2010 at 8:11 am
You’re such a sweet puppy mom! What could be better than peanut butter treats for all?!
February 4th, 2010 at 8:12 am
Thanks for the idea and the recipe. I need to make some for my Country. I ended up with 2 bags of WW flour for some reason and this will be a great way to use some of it.
Thanks again,

Our new puppy LOVES peanut butter treats. We are house training using some called GOOBER-Liscious. (LOVE that name!)
Anyhoo – we are almost OUT, so this post has perfect timing!
Peanut Butter – What’s NOT to love?!
February 4th, 2010 at 8:54 am
Aw, that’s SO sweet! I love that your dogs have inherited your obsession with peanut butter – you’re clearly raising them right!
February 4th, 2010 at 9:06 am

It’s so nice you baked peanut butter cookies for the puppies!
February 4th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
This is so fantastic! My father’s pup LOVES peanut butter. I think I might need to bake up a batch of cookies for Bonnie!
You are too cute looking all happy with your Peter Pan!
February 4th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
great puppy treats, love them!
February 4th, 2010 at 1:24 pm
Such lucky puppies!
February 4th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Stopping by from SITS, and so glad I did! Hubby recommended this morning that, while we have my four year old nephew for the weekend, maybe we should bake some doggy treats. It would be something fun for him to do, our dogs love treats, and he can bring some home to his dog. This recipe looks perfect!
February 4th, 2010 at 2:31 pm
You are such a great mommy!
February 4th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Gosh, the puppy ones looked so cute and yummy, I might have had to sample one or two of those until the people ones were baked!
February 4th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Your puppy pictures always make me smile- they are the cutest!
I love baking treats for dogs. They’re always so appreciative of your efforts!
February 4th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
As an owner of an 80lb. Airedale, I’ve haven’t had a small dog since my parents had Monique- a mini poodle! She was my bud, the parakeet would ride on her back..slept at the end of my bed, and I had to give her insulin shots every morning in her old age.. Guess who likes animals, and guess who they like back.
February 4th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Naughty … naughty … gosh, you know my son do this a lot, and drive me crazy, because I end up running out of pb most of the time. I should just ask him to make this treat, but then he might eat it himself … I know him!!!!!
February 4th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Bitty and Bear are sooooo adorable. Their cute factor is off the charts!
Those cookies almost looked bigger than them, lol. I really appreciate you sharing this recipe. I always give a Trader Joes peanut butter biscuits to my next door neighbors dogs. They finish up a box pretty quick, especially during the summer. I’m definitely going to try your recipe. i’ll let you know how it goes.
Sweet wishes,
Sara

This is so awesome! I love it. PB cookies for pooches….there are bakeries here and they charge a fortune for doggie cookies. I am really enjoying the puppy photos. They look like very blessed and loved pets. I have a few friends with pooches and they all say the dogs love PB.
February 4th, 2010 at 4:39 pm
You are NEVER too old for a princess party!! How adorable are your doggies. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
February 4th, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Oh, I have two kiddos that are now just dying to make our border collie some cookies!!! We even have a bone shaped cookie cutter…now if I could actually talk him into taking the time to chew them up first…..Mmmmm….I need cookies myself.
February 4th, 2010 at 5:27 pm
Peanut butter anything is heaven. You really know how to have a good time over there!
February 4th, 2010 at 5:47 pm

BTW-Yea, I did make the meatballs and they everyone loved them! I’ll be making them again for sure!

February 5th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
Mmmmmm PB!!! I wonder if people can munch on those too?
My doggies would LOVE these. Maybe I will make some tomorrow. Is whole wheat flour required or would regular flour work?
