Peanut Butter Dog Treats (gluten free)

So much better for your puppies than most store bought bickies! My puppies know somehow when I am baking for them and camp in front of the oven. Seriously they spaz out for these treats!

overview

• Prep Time: 45 min
• Total Time: 1 h
• Makes: 4-5 doz

ingredients

1/2 Cup Kraft smooth or crunchy peanut butter

2 Tbsp olive or canola oil

1 Cup water

3 Cup rolled oats

Chopped peanuts, optional

directions

Blitz oats in food processor until it becomes a course flour consistency.

In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, oil and water until smooth. Add the flour and stir with a large spoon, spatula or your hands until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight.

Line a few baking sheets with parchment paper. On a floured surface, with a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough to a thickness of approximately 1/4 inch. Cut out as many cookies as possible and transfer them to the cookie sheet. Press in chopped peanuts, if desired. Re-roll remaining dough, cut out cookies, and repeat until you've used it all. If the dough starts to get too sticky to work with, put it back in the fridge for 10 minutes or so.

Preheat oven to 350F. Refrigerate cookie sheets with cookies while your oven warms up. This will help them keep their shape. Bake them for 15-20 minutes, or until firm and set. Remove from oven and allow to cool a few minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to wire racks to finish cooling. Once cooled, store in an airtight container.
