Christmas Cookies For Dogs Recipe
DOG CHRISTMAS COOKIES
Makes approximately 3 Dozen Cookies
INGREDIENTS
1 1/3 cups (170g) brown rice flour, plus extra
1/3 cup( 90g) plain natural peanut butter (sugar and salt-free)
1 egg
1 banana ripe
3 tablespoons organic honey
1/4 cup (25g) beet powder ( optional to give red color)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine all of the ingredients except the beet powder in a large bowl. Stir together until well-incorporated. Add the beet powder and knead together with your hands. The dough should not be sticky. If the dough is sticky add extra rice flour in a little at a time and knead together with hands.
Turn the dough out onto a large sheet of parchment paper and top with a second sheet. Roll the dough between the sheets to 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to stamp shapes from the dough. Transfer the shapes to the prepared pan. When the pan is full of cut-outs, chill them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Bake the cookies for 10 minutes for 2-inch shapes, and 12-15 for larger cookie shapes. Let cool completely before treating your canine friend.
NOTES
Beet powder may be omitted from this recipe and replaced with brown rice flour. The cookies will be the color of a peanut butter cookie.
These cookies are intended to be an occasional treat and should not be used as a meal replacement.
PACKAGING FOR GIFTS
There are lots of ways to package these cookies to give, but I personally love giving them in clear boxes, because the recipient (pet owner) can immediately see how cute the treats are.
