Twelve Days of Christmas Cookies: Peanut Butter Paw Prints

Peanut Butter Paw Prints

DAY 5: Peanut Butter Paw Prints

These are fun cookies to make with kids. Use regular-sized chocolate chips for the small pads of the pawprint, and larger chocolate disks (I used dark chocolate melting chocolate wafers) for the large pad.

Use a very small cookie scoop (or make 1” balls)  so that the paw print pattern covers most of the cooked cookie.

These cookies are made from a peanut butter cookie dough. If you want a nut-free cookie base, try this recipe:
