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:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.)
  5. 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.
  6. Add the melted peanut butter mixture to the cornstarch and stir until just combined.
  7. 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.
  8. Add the frosting to a piping bag and pipe designs on top of each dog treat.
  9. Frost the treats with the peanut butter/honey mixture for an even more tempting cookie.

FAQ

What can I put in my homemade dog treats?

Many recipes require things such as oatmeal, eggs, flour, water, or broth. Add some flavor — as well as vitamins, protein, and fiber — with peanut butter (free of artificial sweeteners like xylitol), pureed pumpkin, apples, carrots, sweet potato, and cheese to create delicious cookies any dog would love.

Can I use normal flour for dog treats?

SO CAN DOGS EAT FLOUR? Of course! Even though grain-free diets for dogs are popular today, the reality is that it’s only the highly processed flours that don’t come from whole grains that aren’t great for your pup.

Are homemade dog treats healthier?

Homemade Dog Treats are Healthier

No matter how you look at it, most homemade dog treat recipes are healthier than store-bought dog treats because they contain fresher ingredients. Homemade dog treats don’t contain the same amount of preservatives, fats and chemicals that regular store-bought treats contain.
