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.
