Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain peanut butter no xylitol
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

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 peanut butter, applesauce, egg, and olive oil. Mix until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the whole wheat flour and oats to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  4. If the dough is too dry, add water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches a workable consistency.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  6. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

  8. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving them to your dog.
