Learn how to make homemade Peanut Butter Macarons for your dog with this easy to follow recipe. Be sure to watch the recipe video at the end! *The peanut butter for this post was provided by Peanut Butter & Co. 

I just want to come clean and admit to something before we go on with this post: I am one of those people who loves their dog like a child.

You think it’ll never be you then BAM, one day you’re looking at the camera roll on your phone and it’s just thousands of photos of your dog sleeping and posing in bad selfies with you.

I don’t mind it though. These days I’m embracing it.

The last treats we made for Pearl turned out to be one of the all-time most popular posts on our blog. Guess we’re not the only ones who love to spoil our dog!

This time we decided to take dog treats to a whole ‘nother level by making peanut butter macarons.

Peanut butter is one of Pearl’s most favorite things on the planet, so how could she not love peanut butter sandwiched between two peanut butter cookies?!? Dog heaven!

You may know by now that some brands of peanut butter are using xylitol as an ingredient. Xylitol is toxic to dogs, so please be sure the peanut butter you are using does not include it.

We like to use Peanut Butter & Co. Not only is it free of xylitol, but it is also made from all natural ingredients. Pearl seems to like it a whole lot too!

Peanut Butter Dog Treat Macarons - Dog Treat Recipe
Prep Time: 15 minutes mins
Cook Time: 15 minutes mins
Total Time: 30 minutes mins
Servings: 30

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • additional peanut butter for sandwiching

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer (or another large bowl if mixing by hand), add flour, baking powder, peanut butter, egg, honey, and milk. Beat until ingredients are well combined and a soft dough forms.
  • Give the surface you are going to pat the dough out on a light dusting of flour. Pat the dough out into a rectangle 1/2″ deep.
  • Use a small cookie cutter (I used this one) to cut out circles of dough.
  • Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool.
  • When ready to give to your dog, put some peanut butter in between two cookies.
  • To store, place cookies in an airtight container or Ziploc bag and keep in fridge.

    We sometimes “babysit” my step daughter’s dog and I like to bake peanut butter dog treats for her. Next time she’s here I’ll make sure to try these beautiful macarons! P.s. Pearl is adorable 🙂 .

    These are too cute! What a great idea for dog treats. Plus, that peanut butter is pretty amazing. It’s my favorite brand.

    I can totally relate to treating your pet as one of your children. The hubby I am don’t have human kiddos. . .so our pets are very much so our children. That means they get spoiled rotten. I haven’t actually made them homemade treats myself. . .I guess because there is a great pet boutique down the street from us that sells homemade treats. . .but boy do these peanut butter macarons look tasty. And what dog doesn’t like peanut butter?

    My attempt at this turned out awful :(. These are so cute but it was impossible to deal with the dough, it was intensely sticky. I even let it sit in the fridge for an hour to make it harder so I could cut it, but it was not having it. I don’t know what I did wrong.

      Chelsea, I’m so sorry you had a difficult time with the dough. Anytime you have dough that is too sticky, you should add more flour. The measured ingredients in this recipe usually work out perfectly for me, but variables such as humidity and measuring techniques may require you to add a little more flour. I will add this to the recipe notes in case someone else encounters the same issue.

    If my pups are allergic to eggs could I use applesauce in this? Also would almond or coconut flour be okay? Thanks!!

      I’m vegan, so don’t eat eggs, usually I sub apple sauce, mashed bananas, chia seeds ground up in some water or the liquid from a can of chickpeas ( called aqua fiber) I don’t remember what the ratio is, but I’m sure you can Google.
      I’m not sure on the flours, but I heard almond flour is finicky in lots of recipes..

    The recipe was easy simple and my dog loved it. I had a hard time finding a cutter small enough. The hole of the donut cutter was too big. Very small dog that doesn’t need treats he’s so spoiled!!!

    Hi, is the dough stiff enough to be able to use shaped cookie cutters? (such as hearts, bowties, etc?)

    Adorable! I was reading the comments. Mine was wet and sticky as well, more like batter than dough. I used Almond flour, so I’m thinking that was the problem. It got thicker and more like dough when I added a lot of AP Flour. I like the light color, so I didn’t use Whole Wheat flour. Did you use AP or self-rising flour or another kind? I want to use the cookie shape as a bun and add a little patty in the middle to make a puppy burger. Thanks for sharing!

    I bake and sell all natural gourmet dog treats for our Farmer’s Market. These are a huge seller. I also thaw out frozen strawberries. Mash them super well once thawed. Put a tiny amount on these peanut butter cookies. My customers bring their fur babies and I get to see them devour my treats!!!

    These peanut butter dog treat macarons look absolutely amazing! I can’t wait to try this recipe for my pup. The idea of combining classic macaron texture with peanut butter is genius! Thanks for sharing! 🐾

    Do you think Substituting the Peanut Butter for ingredients like Pumpkin would work in the Macaroon itself not just the filling?
