Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (ensure it does not contain xylitol)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and peanut butter. Crack the egg into the bowl, and gradually add water. Mix all the ingredients together until a soft, workable dough forms. Add more water if the dough is too dry, or a bit more flour if it’s too sticky.
  2. Shape the treats: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters or simply cut into small squares or desired shapes that are appropriate for your dog’s size.
  3. Bake the treats: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the shaped dough pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the treats are set and lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft.
  4. Cool and store: Remove the treats from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Notes

  • Make sure to use peanut butter that does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
  • Customize the size of treats based on your dog’s breed and chewing ability.
  • Keep treats soft by avoiding excessive baking time.
  • These treats do not contain preservatives, so monitor freshness accordingly.
