Author Notes
Easy-peasy homemade dog treats you can whip together in no time and feel good about giving your pup. Try adding in bits of bacon for a very special treat (but give Fido those sparingly). —Erin Jeanne McDowell

Ingredients
-
1/2 cup
natural, unsalted peanut butter
-
1 cup
water
-
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil (or use the oil that has separated from the natural peanut butter inside the jar)
-
1 1/2 cups
whole wheat flour
-
1 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the peanut butter, water, and oil.
-
Add the flours gradually, mixing until the mixture comes together to form a smooth dough, 2 to 3 minutes. (This can also be done by hand, though the kneading will take longer -- 6 to 8 minutes.)
-
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a floured cookie cutter, and transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Leave at least 1/4 inch between each biscuit to ensure even baking (the biscuits don’t spread much).
-
Bake until golden brown on the bottom and edges, about 12 to 18 minutes (depending on the size of the cookie cutter). Cool completely before serving to your pooch.
I always have three kinds of hot sauce in my purse. I have a soft spot for making people their favorite dessert, especially if it's wrapped in a pastry crust. My newest cookbook, Savory Baking, came out in Fall of 2022 - is full of recipes to translate a love of baking into recipes for breakfast, dinner, and everything in between!
