For the Frosting:
- ¼ cup cornstarch or tapioca starch
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tsp honey
- Food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles (optional) – xylitol-free only! Read our article on xylitol poisoning in dogs.
For the cookie:
- 1 cup plain (no sugar) pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp plain (no sugar or salt) peanut butter
- 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce or veggie, olive or melted coconut oil
Instructions to make dog cookie recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, water and honey, adding the water gradually until it is a nice consistency that will stick to the cookie (it should be a bit runny). Add food coloring, if desired.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, whole wheat flour, eggs and unsweetened applesauce or veggie oil. Mix together until well combined.
- Gradually add a bit of flour at a time to the dough, so that you can handle it without it sticking to your fingers.
- Roll out the dough on a well-floured surface to about ½ inch thick. Cut out the dough into desired shapes or use cookie cutters.
- Place the cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 8 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely before frosting.
- To frost, gently dip the top of each cookie into the cornstarch slurry, immediately add sprinkles, and let dry.
It’s treat time! Enjoy the homemade dog cookie recipe with your furry friend!
