Cuisine: Dog Treats
Serves: 24 treats
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and create a small well in the center for wet ingredients.
- Add the peanut butter, chicken broth, and egg into the well. Mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon or spatula until a consistent dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and slightly elastic.
- Roll out the dough to approximately 1/4 inch thickness using a rolling pin, ensuring an even surface.
- Use cookie cutters in fun shapes like bones, hearts, or circles to cut out treat shapes. Place cut-outs onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Arrange treats about 1 inch apart to allow even baking and prevent sticking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown and treats are firm to touch.
- Remove from oven and let treats cool completely on a wire rack for about 30 minutes before serving to your dog.
- Store cooled treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Always use xylitol-free peanut butter, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- For dogs with wheat sensitivities, you can substitute whole wheat flour with oat or rice flour.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth to control salt intake for your furry friend.
- Allow treats to cool completely to prevent burning your dog's mouth.
- If the dough seems too dry, add a little more chicken broth; if too wet, sprinkle in more flour.
- Get creative with cookie cutter shapes to make treat time more fun!
- For smaller dogs, consider making mini treats to control portion sizes.
- These treats make excellent training rewards or special occasion snacks.
