Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the fridge for up to two weeks. Always remember that these are occasional treats, so offer them in moderation. Introduce any new treats gradually and consult your veterinarian if your dog has specific health issues or dietary needs.
Variations:
- Substitute whole wheat flour with oat flour for a gluten-free option.
- Add finely chopped apples or carrots for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Mix in blueberries for a fruity twist that your dog might love.
- Replace peanut butter with almond butter if your dog prefers a different flavor.
