Peanut Butter Dog Treats
Description
Peanut Butter Dog Treats are made from a straightforward combination of whole wheat or white whole wheat flour, peanut butter free from xylitol, eggs, and water. The flour and peanut butter bind together to form a crumbly dough turned into a ball by adding water incrementally. Rolling the dough to about one quarter inch thickness allows cutting into shapes with cookie cutters or a knife.
Baking at 350°F for about 15 minutes yields firm treats that need to cool before serving to dogs. The dense texture satisfies chewing needs while peanut butter aids acceptance. These treats are made with pet-safe ingredients avoiding toxic additives.
The recipe can be halved or doubled depending on desired quantity, and leftovers should be stored tightly covered or frozen to maintain freshness. Thaw frozen treats at room temperature before giving to pets.

- 2 cups flour preferably whole wheat flour or white whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup peanut butter Make sure to use peanut butter that does not contain XYLITOL (also called birch sugar, natural
