Easy Healthy Homemade Dog Cookie Recipes (Peanut Butter!)

Want to spoil your furry friend with delicious and healthy treats? Forget store-bought options loaded with preservatives and questionable ingredients. Homemade dog cookies are surprisingly easy to make, and you control exactly what goes into them. Plus, your dog will adore you for it! These peanut butter recipes are a guaranteed hit, offering protein and healthy fats along with irresistible flavor. Remember to always consult with your veterinarian before introducing new foods into your dog’s diet, especially if they have any allergies or health concerns.

Classic Peanut Butter Dog Cookies (3 Ingredients!)

This recipe is incredibly simple and perfect for beginners. It requires just three ingredients, likely already in your pantry!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for sensitive stomachs)
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free!)
• 1/4 cup water (or unsweetened applesauce)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a bowl, combine the flour, peanut butter, and water (or applesauce).
3. Mix well until a dough forms. It might be a bit crumbly at first, but keep mixing.
4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
5. Use cookie cutters to create fun shapes (dog bones, stars, etc.) or simply cut into squares.
6. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
8. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Peanut Butter Banana Dog Cookies

Adding banana provides natural sweetness and extra nutrients like potassium.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup oat flour
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free!)
• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 1/4 cup water (optional, if needed to bind the dough)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a bowl, combine the oat flour, peanut butter, and mashed banana.
3. Mix well. If the dough seems too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until it comes together.
4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
5. Cut into desired shapes and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Let cool completely before serving.

Tips for Success:

• Xylitol is Toxic! Always double-check your peanut butter label to ensure it does NOT contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener highly toxic to dogs.
• Use Natural Peanut Butter: Opt for peanut butter with only peanuts and salt as ingredients. Avoid brands with added sugars or oils.
• Storage: Store homemade dog cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
• Adjust Baking Time: Baking time may vary depending on your oven. Keep a close eye on the cookies and adjust as needed.
• Make Them Chewier: For softer cookies, reduce the baking time by a few minutes.
• Get Creative! Feel free to add other dog-friendly ingredients like shredded carrots, pumpkin puree, or cooked sweet potato.

Making homemade dog cookies is a fun and rewarding experience. Your dog will appreciate the effort, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing exactly what they’re eating. Happy baking!
