Ingredients
How To Make Dog-Friendly Cookies
Ingredients
Cookies Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups of flour (I used plain white but have also tried rice and whole wheat)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of peanut butter
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons of cooked pumpkin (I used unsweetened 100% natural canned this time for convenience but usually bake my own) other options include bananas, parsley, etc
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, honey, or sugar
- 1 egg
Dog Safe Faux “Chocolate” Icing Ingredients
- 1/4 cup carob powder (I was super excited to learn about carob- what a great substitute for chocolate)
- 2 tbsp water (mix into a paste- adjust water to get desired thickness)
Decorating Ingredients
- Peanut Butter
- Cream Cheese and Yogurt Icing (1/3 cup of each and 1/3 cup of sugar combined)
- Carob Faux “chocolate” frosting (1/4 cup carob powder, 2 tbsp water)
Directions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, water and the egg in a bowl. Combine.
- Add the pumpkin and peanut butter and stir until you have a firm dough. You may need to use your hands to knead it into a circle.
- Lightly flour your surface, roll out the dough
- Cut out puppy shapes with cookie cutter.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Assembly
- Let cookies cool for 10 minutes before decorating.

Those are adorable, but they look too intense for me. I’m a beginner when it comes to homemade treats.
I know the feeling. The Mashed potato, sweet potato, pumpkin and apple ones are super simple and easy.
What a great idea for dog owners. Thanks for sharing. Have a terrific weekend.
This recipe will make great activity for my grandchildren as they are getting a new pup , they can learn to make its treat container and the treats , maybe an inspiration will arise and they will make few more for the other dogs/ pups in the family too..will definitely be in cooperated with schoolwork .. great job.. thanks for the idea.
