Let’s start with the cookie part first.
Ingredients:
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/4 teaspoons salt
-
6 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
-
3 tablespoons softened margarine
-
3/4 cup sugar
-
1 egg
-
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, margarine, and sugar. Cream until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. It will be a pale color.
-
Into the butter mixture, add an egg and mix well.
-
Slowly add the flour to the butter mixture. Scrap down the bowl during the process to make sure it is fully mixed.
-
Split the dough into two sections. Wrap both and place them in the refrigerator or freezer overnight.
-
Preheat your oven to 350F.
-
Place a piece of wax paper on a clean surface. Sprinkle lots of flour over it, and finally
-
place a disk of dough over the flour. Note: I had to add lots more flour to keep the dough together. It was way too sticky to roll out if I didn’t. I probably added almost a cup for each section. This will make the cookie dough tougher but it was necessary.
-
Cover with a remaining piece of wax paper and roll out to 1/4 inch thick. You don’t have to use wax paper on top but it makes it so much easier.
-
Place wax paper on a baking sheet.
-
Use your cookie cutter to cut out the dog shapes. I didn’t have the exact cutter they have in the cookbook but use what you have.
-
Place the cookie on the baking sheet and bake for 6-8 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.

3 cups confectioners’ sugar
