DIY Holiday Dog Treats

December 04, 2020 Lili Kendall

Pet Obsessed

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and we can't think of a better way to celebrate than baking treats for our four-legged friends! This recipe is pet-tested and pet parent-approved:

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
3 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup + 2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup canola oil
3/4 cup molasses

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°
In a small bowl, combine all spices and mix. In a large bowl, combine flours and then combine all dry ingredients.
In a separate large bowl, combine all wet ingredients.
Combine wet and dry ingredients together. Note: dough will be stiff! Add more water if needed.
Sprinkle flour on a flat surface and begin kneading dough. After kneading, roll out dough until 1/4 inch thick.
Use holiday cookie cutters to make fun festive shapes for your cookies! Place cookies about 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets or silicone baking mats.
Bake 25 minutes and let cool for several minutes.
Serve them to your pup!

If you make these cookies, we'd love to see how they turned out! Tag @PetParadiseResort in your posts.
