Pumpkin Canine Cookies2 cups oats
1/2 cup butter
2 cups boiling water
5-6 cups whole wheat flour, divided
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup non fat milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup mashed pumpkin
Preheat the oven to 350
Lightly coat cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix the oats, pumpkin, and butter in a large bowl. Carefully pour in the boiling water.
Stir in 2 cups flour and remaining ingredients.
With a wooden spoon, mix until it forms into a big ball, adding flour as needed to make a stiff dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface, adding flour as needed, until the dough taken on a rollable consistency. In total I used about 5 1/2 cups flour.
Roll out the dough to 3/8 inch thickness. Cut out cookie shapes using your favorite cutters. Place them on the cookie sheets and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown. Cool completely.
Can I use canned pumpkin?

Sure Paz! I just had mashed on hand already in the freezer! Just make sure it is not the spiced kind - just plain pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteHi Joe! How many did you end up getting? Do they keep for awhile? Should I freeze them or just store them. I only have 1 dog (albeit an 80 pound one who would happily eat all of these :)).
ReplyDeleteHi Chelle D!
ReplyDeleteIt will depend on what size cutter you use for your yield - I used different sizes but didn't count the biscuits. There was a ton though (at least 50 I think)
I store about 1/4 of them in the fridge for the pups and the rest in the freezer. I rotate when the ones in the fridge get low.
