?Peanut Butter Cookie Dog Treat Recipe
Less is more when it comes to baking your own pup treats, so I've combined 3 simple ingredients (plus hot water) to make these delicious Peanut Butter Cookie Dog Treats.
These treats keep well in the refrigerator for at least a week.
Most importantly, these peanut butter cookies for dogs are sure to be a hit with your pup!
?Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup oats
½ cup peanut butter (no XYLITOL) - creamy peanut butter works best
1 ¼ cups hot water
?Instructions
Preheat oven to 350*F.
Combine all ingredients in your mixing bowl. It's important that you use hot - not cold - water, so don't skimp on this step.
You will want to stir your dough with a spoon or spatula at first, but it will eventually get to a point where you can knead it like bread dough. Eventually, it will all roll up into a ball.
Flatten the dough on the counter, either with your hands or a rolling pin. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour. I did not have any issues with the dough sticking to the counter, but there are many variables (like house temperature, altitude, measuring devices, etc), so don't fret if yours does.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a greased, prepared baking sheet. You can use cooking spray or a healthy oil of your choice to prepare the cookie sheet.
Once dough balls are on the cookie sheet, flatten them criss-cross style with a fork (like you do with peanut butter cookies for humans).
⏲️Baking Time
Bake at 350°F for approximately 15 minutes, or until golden brown (baking time may vary with ovens). Your pup can actually eat this dough raw, so don't worry about undercooking. However, if you overcook the treats, they will be dry and crumbly.
This recipe for homemade dog cookies will make a few dozen cookies. All ingredients are safe for human consumption.
Cool the cookies completely before storing them in an airtight container so they won't go stale.
Once cooled, let your furry friend enjoy!
NOTES:
- Store in the refrigerator OR you can freeze part of the dough to bake later 🙂
- All ingredients in these homemade treats are safe for human consumption.
