Pumpkin Peanut butter Dog Treats

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

2 large eggs

2/3 cup pumpkin purée, canned or fresh

3 tbsps peanut butter

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place all ingredients in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer

fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium for about a minute or until the dough

looks like a bunch of little dough balls. If you pinch a piece and it crumbles, add a little

water. If it’s really sticky, it’s too wet and you’ll need to add a little flour. Gather the

dough together and form into a ball. Place on a lightly floured work surface and roll it out

to about 1/4-inch thickness. You can either use a cookie cutter to cut out cute shapes or

use a knife to cut squares or strips. I am pretty sure the dog doesn’t care, but I rather

prefer the cute shapes. I gather the scraps together and roll them out again and again

until I’ve used up the dough. Place the cookies on a baking sheet. They can be crowded

pretty close together since they don’t expand much. Bake 15-20 minutes for softer

treats or 30 minutes for hard treats (Kaweah likes crunchy treats, just like her person –

me). Let cool completely. Makes 100+ 1-inch heart-shaped dog treats
