Peanut Butter Play Dough OR Peanut Butter Cookies


Play dough your preschooler can make and share with your toddler?  Oh, yes! 

This fun recipe can be used as just a recipe for cookies.  Or, you can let your kids play with it--once it is mixed together, it molds wonderfully!  Or, you can divide the dough, make cookies with half, and play with the other half.  It's up to you!



The recipe is simple:

Yum

** 1 cup creamy peanut butter

** 2 cups powdered sugar

** 6 Tablespoons (1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons) soft butter


The steps are fun:

1.  Stir all three ingredients together, then knead them into a ball.

2.  For cookies, pull off a child-sized handful of dough and knead it into a ball.  Let it harden on a sheet of wax paper (a plate or cookie sheet also works fine).  If you like, you can dip the top in dipping chocolate or press a chocolate chip into the cookie!


3.  For play dough, hand it to your child and let her play!  Even better, grab a handful and play with her!  You can store the dough in a sealed container in your refrigerator for up to a week.

Note:  Yes, it is entirely edible!

Enchanted Homeschooling Mom, We love peanut butter too! It's a very win-win recipe here!

Hi Cynthia! I especially love that you don't have to cook this one--the kids really can be involved in every step of it!
