Cream together room temperature butter and sugar in a bowl. Once the butter sugar mixture is done, add vanilla extract.
Mix in the flour until a dough-like consistency starts to form.
On a well floured surface, roll the cookie dough with a rolling pin until it is 1/8 inches thick.
Using a pug cookie cutter, or paper template, cut out shapes in the cookie dough. Cut out a semi-circle hole for the mouth.
Take the scraps of cookie dough and add a pinch of cocoa powder until a light brown color is achieved. On a well floured surface, roll the cookie dough with a rolling pin until it is 1/8 inches thick. Cut out semi-circles and place inside the hole previously cut out.
Use a toothpick to poke holes in the light brown semi-circle cookie dough.
Place the cookies on parchment paper 2” apart and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Bake in preheated oven at 325ºF for 8-10 minutes or until bottoms are lightly golden. Remove cookies from baking sheet and cool on wire racks.
Microwave dark chocolate for 30 seconds until there are no lumps. Use a toothpick to paint the details on the cookies.
Microwave white chocolate for 30 seconds until there are no lumps. Add a small amount of dark chocolate to get a shade of brown just lighter than milk chocolate. Use a toothpick to paint the details on the cookies.
