Peanut Butter Pumpkin Dog Treats



Let's talk about the pups today. I know, I know, the Internet loves cats, but I'm allergic--and I love dogs (just ask my poor husband, a cat person). I love the doggies so much that when I have leftover pumpkin, I can't resist the urge to make teats for all the doggies in our lives. So many doggies. 

If your pup is anything like ours, it's probably a peanut butter fiend. PB is basically a given in any treat for her (straight PB on a spoon is a Daisy fave). 


You don't have to shape these treats into mustaches, but if you do, I guarantee, that anyone you give these treats to will you send you a photo of their dog wearing a "cookie" mustache. Totally worth it.

Bonus: Daisy with a mustache.


Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Pumpkin Dog Cookies

Adapted from All Recipes

Ingredients 
   2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
   2 eggs
   1 cup canned pumpkin
   2 tablespoons peanut butter
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Whisk together the flour, eggs, pumpkin, peanut butter, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Add water as needed to help make the dough workable, but the dough should be dry and stiff. Roll the dough into a 1/4-inch-thick roll. Chill in refrigerator until firm, using cookie cutters cut out treats (or cut into squares) 
  3. Bake in preheated oven until hard, about 25-30 minutes.
