DOG TREATS AND OR BABY TEETHING COOKIES

These thick and crunchy cookies are beloved by teething babies and furry friends alike. 

We originally made these as dog treats, but soon realized that Allie enjoyed them almost as much as Saul did. It’s the best because whenever Allie discards a drooly, partly eaten biscuit on the floor - viola! - it instantly transforms into a dog treat and is swiftly scarfed.

We would also like to note here, for posterity, that Audie consistently calls these “baby buns” for reasons which we don’t understand.

dog treats/ baby teething cookies

2.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1.5 teaspoons cinnamon

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/3 cup real peanut butter

1/3 cup Just Egg

2 tablespoons molasses

Mix everything together to make a somewhat wet dough. Flour a countertop and work the dough a little bit until it’s easier to handle. Flour your work surface again and roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into whatever shapes you like and then bake them at 350 for 35 minutes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

TODDLER TEETHING COOKIES

This is a very simple recipe that makes great toddler teething cookies. They are dense, chewy and slightly sweet. They’d actually make a pretty yummy snack for older kids and grown ups, too. 

simple teething cookies (yields 12)

2 cups oat flour (can be easily made by grinding rolled oats in a blender)

1 ripe banana

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

1 tablespoon flax seed, freshly ground

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

In a mixing bowl, mash the banana. Add the coconut oil, shredded coconut, flax, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mash everything until combined. Add the oat flour and mash until a dough forms.

Separate the dough into 12 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Press each ball into an oval wafer shape that is about 4 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 1/4-inch thick.

Bake for 8 minutes, flip the cookies, and bake for 8 minutes more. Cookies should be set in the centers and very lightly browned. Cool on pan.
