Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole-wheat flour, plus extra for rolling
  • 1 cup pumpkin

  • 1½ tsp. Ceylon cinnamon (do not use Cassia cinnamon) (Note: Never use nutmeg, which is bad for dogs)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and combine. Add more flour if needed, so the dough isn’t sticky.
  3. Roll out dough on parchment paper or other nonstick surface.
  4. Use cookie cutters to make your favorite shapes, or roll into long strips and cut into bite-size bits.
  5. Transfer to baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, flipping cookies over halfway through. This will ensure a dry and crisp cookie that will be easier to store and keep.
  6. Store cookies in an airtight container, or, if you’re giving as a gift, wrap in a cellophane bag with ribbon.
