Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cookies (Pet Safe)

Pet Food Safety: A healthy diet is important for everyone, even your pets! When picking out the right food for your pet, there are important things to consider.

Ingredients

• Pumpkin Purée: Adding pumpkin purée helps these treats to be easily digestible!

• Peanut Butter: What dog doesn’t like peanut butter? It is full of proteins and healthy fats for your pup. Just make sure there isn’t any xylitol in the brand you choose. Xylitol is an artificial sweetener that is toxic to dogs.

• Eggs: Used as a binding agent to give these treats their cookie-like form!

• Whole-Wheat Flour: I like to use whole-wheat flour for its health benefits. If your dog has a gluten intolerance, opt for a gluten-free flour!

• Cinnamon: In small quantities, cinnamon is a perfectly safe ingredient for dog treats. It will add extra flavor!

Instruction

1. Preheat Oven, Prep Baking Sheet: To start, preheat the oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In the bowl of a mixer, use the paddle attachment to combine the pumpkin, peanut butter and eggs on medium high speed.

3. Add Flour and Cinnamon: Next, add in the flour and cinnamon and mix until a stiff dough has formed.

4. Roll Out Dough and Cut: Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and roll out to ¼ inch thick. Then, use cookie cutters to cut your desired shapes!

5. Bake: Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the edges begin to turn golden brown. Allow to cool completely.

6. Serve: Your treats are ready for your favorite pups!
