Peanut Butter Dog Treats

Ingredients:
1 cup of creamy peanut butter
2 large eggs
2 ½ cups of whole wheat flour
¾ cups of water
For the drizzle:
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
1 ½ tablespoons coconut oil

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add in the peanut butter and eggs. Beat with hand mixer until combined.
  3. Add in the whole wheat flour and water and beat until the dough forms a ball.
  4. Dust your work surface with whole wheat flour.
  5. Roll the dough out to a ¼-inch thickness.
  6. Cut out with the cookie cutter and place an inch apart on the prepared cookie sheet. They won't spread.
  7. Press holes into the cookie using a fork or a skewer.
  8. Bake for 18 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. This will depend on the size of your cookie cutter. Mine was 3 ¼-inch long.
  9. Store in an airtight container. The cookies freeze well after being baked and will last up to 3 months in the freezer.
  10. In a small microwave-safe bowl, add in the peanut butter and coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir to combine. It should be a runny consistency but be thick enough that it doesn't thin out and not hold its shape.
  11. Lay the dog bones out on wax paper.
  12. Use a spoon or add the drizzle to the sandwich bag and cut a small hole in the corner, drizzle the glaze over top of each dog treat.
