Thanksgiving is long gone, but many of us have a can or two of puréed pumpkin still lurking in the pantry. Cans may seem to last forever but they do have an expiration date! Use it up, clear some space for spring, and put a smile on your pup’s face.

And if you’ve never seen a dog smile? You’re just not spending enough time around dogs.

Ingredients

2½ c whole wheat flour

2 eggs

½ c canned pumpkin

2 Tbsp peanut butter

½ tsp salt

½ tsp ground cinnamon

DirectionsDog Cookies1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Whisk flour, eggs, pumpkin, peanut butter, salt and cinnamon together in a bowl. Add water as needed to help make the dough more easily workable, but the dough should be dry and stiff.

Roll the dough into a ½”-thick roll. Cut into ½” pieces.

Bake in preheated oven until hard, about 40 minutes.
