Peanut Butter Pumpkin Dog Treats

You could eat these if you wanted to, but they are probably kind of bitter. Our dogs love them, they wouldn't stop following me after I gave them some.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 large eggs
2/3 cup pumpkin puree
3 tbs. peanut butter

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Put all ingredients in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, with paddle attachment.


3. Mix on medium for about 1 minute or until dough looks like this. If you pinch a piece and it crumble, add a little water, if it's sticky add a little more flour.



4. Form dough into a ball (I divided it into 2 balls, because it was easier to work with). Roll the dough out on a slightly floured surface (use the whole wheat flour) to about 1/4 inch thickness.


5. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters or with a knife (doesn't have to be sharp, I used a butter knife) until you've used up all the dough. I didn't have any smaller cookie cutters, so I just cut them into little squares.




6. Place on a baking sheet, they can be pretty close together, because they don't really expand much.

7. Bake 15-20 minutes for softer treats or 30 minutes for hard treats. Let cool completely before giving them to your dog.
