Notes
Tips
- Make sure to use a dog safe peanut butter. Use creamy peanut butter, not chunky as dogs cannot digest whole nuts. Stay away from peanut butter with added sugar, seed oils, or flavors and especially xylitol which is incredibly toxic to dogs.
- You don't need to roll out the dough if you don't want to do cut outs. You can also just use your hands and form into small balls and flatten so they are thin.
- Brushing with honey is optional, but it makes these brown and crisp up with a sweet flavor your dog will love!
- Gluten Free – Replace the all purpose flour with 155 grams (1 cup) gluten free flour blend.
- High Altitude – Bake at 350°F for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and bottom.
