Dog-Friendly Christmas Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup dog safe peanut butter*
• 2 cups whole wheat flour 
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon 

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350. Combine pumpkin, eggs, and peanut butter. Add flour and knead into a dough. Sometimes you may need to add more flour to get right dough consistency. Split dough into two equal portions. 

Take half of the dough and roll to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out into holiday themed shapes. 

Take the other half of dough and roll into roughly equally-sized balls. Roll balls in flour and use thumb to make indent. Add small amount of dog-friend fruit preserves*. 

Bake for 20-40 minutes depending on what crunch factor you’re looking for. 

Once cooled, decorate the cut out cookies using icing and sprinkles!  

*Watch out for ingredients such as Xylitol when picking out peanut butter and fruit preserves. 

Icing

• 2 tbsp corn starch 
• 1 tbsp honey 

Combined corn starch and honey, then add water to right consistency, typically 1-2 tsp depending on how thin or thick you want your icing. Icing will harden over time. 

These cookies paired with our EarthBars crunchy treats make a great way to treat your dog and their furry friends this holiday season! Cookies can be stored in air tight container for one week or in fridge for up to 1 month.
