1

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare cookie dough according to package instructions.
2

Add 2 tablespoons of flour to batter while mixing so cookies will hold a domed shape.

Roll 2 tablespoons of dough into balls but do not flatten. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 7-9 minutes. Let cool completely.

After the turkey this year, it’s Thanksgiving Cat Cookies for dessert! Hands down, the cookie I am most thankful for is peanut butter. Peanut butter cookies are my all-time favorite comfort food. You’d think it would be chocolate, but no. Fact: When I was little, I would ask my mom to make peanut butter cookies for me for my birthday instead of cake! But these adorable cookies do contain chocolate. So I am doubly thankful for these sweet treats! So cute, you might have to start Thanksgiving dinner with dessert this year!
