Ingredients:
- 2½ cups whole wheat flour (300 grams (see note))
- 1 large egg (50 grams)
- 1 cup peanut butter (270 grams (see note))
- 1 cup water (227 grams)
- 2 tablespoons honey (43 grams (see note))
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (34 grams)
- 1 tablespoon honey (21 grams)
- ⅓ cup cornstarch (37 grams (can also use potato starch or arrowroot powder))
- 3-4 tablespoons hot water (43-57 grams)
Instruction:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and the egg. Add the peanut butter, water, and honey, and stir until you have a stiff dough. The dough becomes very firm and sticky. You may need to use your hands, or the paddle attachment on your mixer.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough about ½-inch thick and use a cookie cutter to make fun shapes. The treats barely spread and rise, so get creative with your shapes.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden. Once done, set aside to cool. (If you have smaller cookies, use less time, otherwise the bottom might burn.)
- To make the frosting, combine the peanut butter and honey in a microwavable bowl, and heat in the microwave in 15 second increments, stirring in between, until melted.
- Add the melted peanut butter mixture to the cornstarch and stir until just combined.
- Slowly add in the water 1 tablespoon at a time until you have reached the consistency that you would like. For a thinner frosting, add more water.
- Add the frosting to a piping bag and pipe designs on top of each dog treat.
- Frost the treats with the peanut butter/honey mixture for an even more tempting cookie.

Whether or not you have a vegetarian dog, these non-meat biscuits will be snapped up — literally! The recipe comes courtesy of King Arthur friend Elaine Aukstikalnis, who works in a veterinary office; Elaine regularly bakes these biscuits (which have been “vetted by the vet”) to bring to work for “the patients.”

Ingredients:
- 2 cups (227g) King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 cup (89g) rolled oats old-fashioned or quick-cooking
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup (56g) King Arthur Baker’s Special Dry Milk or nonfat dry milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instruction:
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Lightly grease a couple of baking sheets, or line them with parchment., Mix together the flour, oats, parsley, dried milk, and salt., Add the eggs and peanut butter, stirring to combine; the mixture will be crumbly., Add enough water to bring the dough together; depending on the season, you may need to add a bit more (winter), or a bit less (summer)., To make biscuits using a dog-bone cutter, roll the dough about 1/4″ thick, and cut with a 3 1/2″ cutter (or the size of your choice). Gather and re-roll the scraps, and continue to cut biscuits until you’ve used all the dough., To make dog “cookies,” drop the dough in walnut-sized balls onto the prepared baking sheets. Flatten them to about 1/4″., Bake the biscuits for about 40 to 60 minutes, baking the smaller cookies for a shorter amount of time. When finished, the biscuits will be dark golden brown, and will be dry and crisp all the way through., Remove the biscuits from the oven, and cool right on the pans.
