How to make Pumpkin dog Cookies

This is a easy way to make homemade Dog treats. All my four legged friends love them. We make many friends on the dog beach with these simple everyday treat.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 1 cup canned pumpkin or 1 can
• 1 cup water
• 4 tablepoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 3 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour

1. Preheat oven 375.
2. Combine all ingredients, except for Wheat flour. Add wheat flour 1/2 cup at a time kneading dough. I find my hands work best. Keeping the wheat Flour in a bowl to the side adding a handful at a time or a 1/2 cup if measured.
3. Keep kneading dough until the consistency is that of a normal cookie dough.
4. Roll dough out on wheat floured surface with a rolling pin. 1/3 to 1/4" thick.
5. Cut with seasonal cookie cutters.
6. Place on cookie sheet ungreased. Little to no spacing is needed. Bake for 40 minutes. Cookies will move with a slight touch on cookie sheet when done.
7. Place hot cookies on a cooling surface, like a towel. Let cool completely. Ruff-a-Yums are done.

Tips & Warnings

• Cookie cutters can be found at any craft or cooking store. If not available various round rimmed items may be used. Cups and glass work great. For smaller cookies I found a shot glass works great for making treats for pint sized pets. Treats are great for the trick or treating pet or those humans in your area that have 4 legged k-9s. Felines may enjoy this treat as well I know mine do.
• Cookies are a fresh baked good. Can be left out for 3 or 4 days. Refrigerate to last longer. Some pets may have problems with differnt ingredients so please make wise choices when it comes to giving any food items to your pet. This is a treat item not a subsitute for everyday food.
