Baking Cookies

[spldrttngrl]

Hi everyone

I baked some peanut butter cookies for my dog and I'm wondering why the cookies are staying a little soft in the center instead of getting hard and crunchy? I cook the cookies at 375 for about 30 minutes and they are cutout cookies that are 1/4 inch thick. After all the cookies are baked I put them all back in the cooling oven and it seems the center is still not hard and crunchy? What am I doing wrong?

It would be helpful to see the recipe you are using. Also, you say the cookies are 1/4" thick, How wide are they?

2 eggs
1 1/2 cup Water
1/2 cup canola oil
3 Tbsp. peanut butter
2 tsp. honey
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup rolled oats, grind to coarse flour
6 cups Unbleached Flour

I use a 2" bone shaped cookie cutter

BTW, my only suggestion about your cookie recipe would be to drop the temp and cook for a longer time. Just a guess.

Thank you very much ChefRAZ, I'll try that next time and add only enough water to be able to form the dough into a ball shape.
