Peanut Butter Cookies For Dogs
Description
Peanut Butter Cookies For Dogs combine plain oats (processed into oat flour), canned pumpkin without additives, and peanut butter containing only peanuts to create a thick dough. The dough is rolled out and cut into bone-shaped or other dog-appropriate shapes before baking until golden brown and crunchy. These cookies offer a texture that dogs find satisfying and a flavor profile from pumpkin and peanut butter that pets generally enjoy.
The ingredients are carefully chosen to exclude common dog toxins; in particular, peanut butter must be free from Xylitol, a sugar substitute harmful to dogs. Baking time and dough dryness can be adjusted to achieve a crispy cookie, considering the moisture content of canned pumpkin used.
Once cooled thoroughly, these treats can be given to dogs as an occasional snack. They provide a way for owners to ensure the snack ingredients are safe and wholesome.
The dough can be shaped using a bone-shaped cookie cutter or other similarly sized cutters; alternatively, cookies can be cut into squares. Adjusting moisture by adding more oat flour can help reach the right dough consistency.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup oats plain, use either quick oats or rolled oats, not steel cut, divided
- ½ cup pumpkin canned, 1 tablespoon
- ½ cup peanut butter peanuts only, see notes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a blender or food processor blitz the oats a few times until they become a powder to turn them into oat flour.
- Add one cup of the oat flour to a mixing bowl. Add pumpkin and peanut butter to the oat flour and mix well. The mixture will become a thick dough that feels a little grainy.
- Sprinkle the rest of the oat flour onto a clean work surface, about ¼ cup. Roll the dough to about a ¼ inch thickness with a rolling pin. Use a bone shaped cookie cutter to cut out the treats.
- Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until firm, these cookies should be a little crunchy and golden brown.
- Cool the cookies on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes, then you can give one to your favorite pup.
Notes
- Use peanut butter containing only peanuts; avoid those with xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- Pumpkin should be plain canned pumpkin without additives; frozen pumpkin can be used after defrosting and draining excess liquid.
- To achieve crispy cookies, pat pumpkin dry with paper towels before mixing.
- If dough is too wet, add additional ground oats one tablespoon at a time until firm.
- Bone-shaped cookie cutters or other 2-inch cutters can be used; alternatively, slice dough into squares.
