How about "commended". Peter commended Paul to us as writing with the wisdom given to him by God, and he commended Paul's writings as part of scripture.
But as far as "authorized" I would have to go with Paul that it was Jesus who called him and sent him out.
If we all agree that Peter didn't authorize Paul, that also means Peter didn't authorize any of the NT writers.
