Peanut Butter Dog Treats

It was our dog, Zoe’s, birthday this week and I thought I’d make dog treats to celebrate.  I’ve made these a couple times before and dogs always love them.  This recipe comes from my friend Bita Arabian of Oven Hug and is a cinch to make.  Thanks Bita!  Enjoy!  woof-woof!

Peanut Butter Dog Treats

1 cup flour

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana

1/4 cup vegetable broth (or meat broth of your choice – I used turkey broth)

cookie cutters of your choice – I used a fire hydrant, squirrel and bone.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Combine flour, peanut butter and applesauce in a large mixing bowl.  Add broth and stir until well combined.

Use your hands to press and roll the dough into a ball.  Place dough ball on a flat surface and roll out evenly – sprinkle surface with a little flour if needed.  Dough should be about 1/4″ thick.  Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes.

Use parchment paper or a silt pad on a baking/cookie sheet.  Bake for about 18 minutes or until golden brown.  Store in a zip lock or an air tight container.
