Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store the cookies in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Remember, these cookies are an occasional treat and should be fed in moderation. Always introduce new treats gradually and consult your veterinarian if your dog has specific health issues or dietary needs.
Variations:
- Replace whole wheat flour with oat flour for a gluten-free option.
- Add mashed bananas for a different flavor profile.
- Incorporate pumpkin puree for added nutrition and a seasonal twist.
