We investigate the long-term dynamics of planetesimals in debris disks in models with the parameters of the binary star systems Kepler-16, Kepler-34, and Kepler-35 with planets. Our calculations show that the formation of a stable ring coorbital with the planet is possible for Kepler-16 and Kepler-35. In Kepler-34 significant orbital eccentricities of the binary system and the planet can prevent the formation of such a structure. The detection of circumbinary ring-like structures in observations of binary star systems can be evidence for the existence of planets retaining coorbital rings of dust and planetesimals.
