Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup Wellness Complete Health Adult Deboned Chicken + Oatmeal Recipe Dry Dog Food, finely ground in a food processor
- 1 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 tablespoon real maple syrup (do not substitute imitation maple syrup as it can contain Xylitol, which is toxic to dogs)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 cup pet-safe chicken broth
- 3/4 cup of dried and/or freeze-dried fruits, chopped into larger chunks (including kiwi, papaya, strawberries)
- Handful of Old Mother Hubbard Winter Fun P-Nuttier Crunchy Dog Treats as cookie topper
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the ground Wellness dog food and flour in a bowl. Stir in the cinnamon and ground ginger.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with a fork. Add the peanut butter, molasses, maple syrup, grated ginger, and chicken broth and mix well.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. You may need to use your hands to knead the dough.
- Place the dough on a sushi rolling mat or a sheet of parchment paper. Roll the dough into a log shape, about 15 inches long and 2 inches in diameter.
- Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Unwrap the log and cut it into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden and firm.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the pan.
- To decorate the cookies, you can make a simple dog-friendly icing by mixing 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. You can also add some food coloring if you want to make different colors.
- Use a small spoon or a piping bag to drizzle the icing over the cookies. Press a dog treat on top of each cookie while the icing is still wet.
- Let the icing set before serving or storing the cookies in an airtight container.
