I was trying to find something I could make for my dog's birthday that we could eat too. These cookies aren't the most delicious for humans but my dog loved them and I felt good giving her a handmade treat for her birthday! Above are the cookies as well as my dog eating them!!
Ingredients:
2/3 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 large eggs
3 cups whole wheat flour
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl combine the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and eggs. This is easier if you use an electric mixer but you can do it by hand as well. Make sure everything is really well combined.
3. Add 1/2 cup of flour at a time to mix and beat until just incorporated. Once a total of 2 1/2 cups has been added, add more flour 1/4 cup at a time until the dough is no longer sticky.
4. Sprinkle a large work surface with a little bit of flour. Knead the dough a few times until it comes together. Roll out the dough until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut out whatever shapes you desire.
5. Place cut out cookies onto the baking sheet. Cook in oven for 20-25 minutes until the edges of the cookies are slightly browned. Let cool completely.
6. You could add a little icing to the cookies for the humans but do not ice the cookies for the dogs!
