INSTRUCTIONS

preheat oven to 350F

In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, and the egg. Add peanut butter, water,  and stir until you have stiff dough. the dough becomes very firm and sticky. you may need to use your hands, or the paddle attachment on your mixer.

On a lightly floured surface, I do it on parchment paper, roll out the dough about 1/2 inch thick

use cookie cutters to make fun shapes. The  treats barely spread or rise.

Bake for 20 minutes, until golden.

keep in an airtight container I use an old peanut butter jar. They also make great gifts.
