Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and grated carrot, mixing well until blended.
- Gradually add the whole wheat flour to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms. You may need to use your hands to knead the dough slightly.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chews are firm and golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the chews cool completely on a wire rack.
