As Haylie stated a few weeks ago, there sure are
a lot of wonderful smells coming from the
kitchen this time of year. And most of them are
not good for us dogs. Here’s another recipe
that I simply love. I “accidentally” ate about
a dozen of them last year. Mom had turned her
back and the cookies literally came to life and
jumped off the table – it really was an
accident.
At least that’s what I told Santa!
Dog-Safe Gingerbread Cookies
1 ½ cups oat flour
1 ½ cups brown rice flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. baking soda
1 egg
¼ cup safflower oil
½ cup molasses (blackstrap or regular)
¼ cup peanut butter (unsalted and creamy)
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
You can find the oat & brown rice flour at
Whole Foods, Fry’s and even some of the other
regular grocery stores.
And, as always, organic ingredients are best!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all
ingredients and mix thoroughly until a dough
forms. If the dough seems too soft or “wet”,
just add a little more flour until it is the
correct consistency.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface
to ¼ inch thickness – you can use some of the
oat flour for this step. Use a gingerbread boy
and/or girl cookie cutter (or any shape your dog
likes) to cut out shapes.
Place on an ungreased cookie sheet – they can be
kind of close together as they don’t spread
while cooking.
**no decorating with raisins – they are
dangerous for us!
Bake 18-22 minutes or until the edges are golden
brown (“golden”, get it?).
Let cool completely – out of our reach.
Store at room temperature in a covered
container. I don’t think they’ll last long!
Bone-Appetit!
