Paw Lickin' Good Baking

I love to bake!  I found a healthy dog cookie recipe that my dogs and dogs who've been gifted these snacks love, too!  It's super simple, healthy and inexpensive.

Slightly Cheesy Pumpkin Cookie Recipe

Ingredients:

2 eggs

1/2 cup canned pumpkin

2 tablespoons dry milk

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

                2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

2-1/2 cups brown rice flour

1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350

In large bowl, whisk together eggs and pumpkin to smooth.  Stir in dry milk, sea salt, Parmesan and dried parsley (if using, optional).  Add brown rice flour gradually, combining with spatula or hands to form a stiff, dry dough.  Turn out onto lightly floured surface (can use the brown rice flour) and if dough is still rough, briefly knead and press to combine.

Roll dough between 1/4 - 1/2" depending if you want a crisp or slightly chewy cookie.  Use biscuit or other shape cookie cutter to punch shapes gathering and re-rolling scraps as you go.  Place shapes on cookie sheet, no greasing or paper necessary.  If desired, press fork pattern on biscuit before baking, a quick up-and-down movement with fork, lightly pressing down halfway through dough.

Bake 20 minutes.  Remove from oven and place on cooling rack.  Allow to cool completely before sharing with your pup.  

The pumpkin will be great for your dog's tummie should they need a little extra fiber in their diet.
