Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain peanut butter no xylitol or added sugars
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup water if needed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil optional

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Cookie cutters
  • 1 Measuring cups
  • 1 Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the plain peanut butter and unsweetened applesauce until well mixed.
  3. Add the large egg and olive oil (if using) to the mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually add the whole wheat flour and rolled oats to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
  5. Lightly flour your surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on a wire rack.

Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate for up to two weeks. These treats are meant for occasional snacking, so remember to feed them in moderation. Always check with your veterinarian if your dog has any dietary restrictions or allergies.
Variations:
- Add chopped carrots or pumpkin puree for extra nutrition.
- Substitute half of the whole wheat flour with oat flour for a different texture.
- Incorporate small amounts of cinnamon (just a pinch) for added flavor.
