🍯Ingredients
For the Dog Treats
2½ cups whole wheat flour ** (see note below)
1 large egg
1 cup peanut butter ** (see note below)
1 cup water
2 tablespoons Fingerlakes Honey Company honey ** (see note below)
For the Frosting
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey
⅓ cup cornstarch (can also use potato starch or arrowroot powder)
3-4 tablespoons hot water
**Notes
Flour Alternatives: Some dogs are allergic to wheat. For a wheat-free option, use rice flour or coconut flour, though this may slightly alter the texture.
Peanut Butter Warning: Avoid peanut butter containing xylitol, as it is toxic to dogs. Stick to natural peanut butter or substitute with nut butter, pumpkin purée, or mashed sweet potato. Adjust the dough consistency as needed.
Honey Caution: Do not give honey to immunocompromised dogs or puppies under 1 year old.
Frosting Consistency: For decorative frosting, use a thicker mixture (2–3 Tbsp water) to outline designs and let it dry for 10 minutes. Use a thinner mixture (3–4 Tbsp water) to fill in the design, smoothing with your finger.
Crunchier Treat Option: For a crispier biscuit, roll the dough thinner or bake at 200°F for a longer time to dry them out.
🥣Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour and the egg. Add the peanut butter, water, and honey, and stir until you have a stiff dough. The dough becomes very firm and sticky. You may need to use your hands, or the paddle attachment on your mixer.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough about ½-inch thick and use a cookie cutter to make fun shapes. The treats barely spread and rise, so get creative with your shapes.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden. Once done, set aside to cool. (If you have smaller cookies, use less time, otherwise the bottom might burn.)
To make the frosting, combine the peanut butter and honey in a microwavable bowl, and heat in the microwave in 15 second increments, stirring in between, until melted.
Add the melted peanut butter mixture to the cornstarch and stir until just combined.
Slowly add in the water 1 tablespoon at a time until you have reached the consistency that you would like. For a thinner frosting, add more water.
Add the frosting to a piping bag and pipe designs on top of each dog treat.
Frost the treats with the peanut butter/honey mixture for an even more tempting cookie.
Storage: Store homemade peanut butter dog treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months or in the freezer for up to 8 months.
