🐾 Homemade Dog Biscuits 

Got a pet lover in your life? These homemade dog biscuits are paw-sitively adorable and easy to make. Plus, kids will have a blast mixing, rolling, and cutting out the dough!


What you’ll need:

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (unsweetened, no xylitol!)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup water

How to make them:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Mix all the ingredients in a big bowl. Kids can get their hands in there to help knead the dough — it’s messy fun!
  3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thick.
  4. Use cookie cutters (bone-shaped, hearts, or holiday-themed ones) to cut out the treats.
  5. Bake on a parchment-lined cookie sheet for 18-20 minutes, then let them cool completely.

Gift tip: Package these in small holiday gift bags or mason jars with a festive bow. Include the recipe or a list of ingredients so the gift recipient knows they're safe for dogs.
