Equipment

  • Kitchen Scale (optional)
  • Baking sheet
  • Rolling Pin
  • Piping Tip Set

Ingredients
  

For the Dog Treats

  • 2½ cups whole wheat flour 300 grams; see note
  • 1 large egg 50 grams
  • 1 cup peanut butter 270 grams; see note
  • 1 cup water 227 grams
  • 2 tablespoons honey 43 grams; see note

For the Frosting

  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter 34 grams
  • 1 tablespoon honey 21 grams
  • ⅓ cup cornstarch 37 grams; can also use potato starch or arrowroot powder
  • 3-4 tablespoons hot water 43-57 grams

Instructions
 

Dog Treats

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour and the egg. Add the peanut butter, water, and honey, and stir until you have a stiff dough. The dough becomes very firm and sticky. You may need to use your hands, or the paddle attachment on your mixer.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough about ½-inch thick and use a cookie cutter to make fun shapes. The treats barely spread and rise, so get creative with your shapes.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden. Once done, set aside to cool. If you have smaller cookies, use less time, otherwise the bottom might burn.

Frosting

  • To make the frosting, combine the peanut butter and honey in a microwavable bowl, and heat in the microwave in 15 second increments, stirring in between, until melted.
  • Add the melted peanut butter mixture to the cornstarch and stir until just combined.
  • Slowly add in the water 1 tablespoon at a time until you have reached the consistency that you would like. For a thinner frosting, add more water.
  • Add the frosting to a piping bag and pipe designs on top of each dog treat.
  • Frost the treats with the peanut butter/honey mixture for an even more tempting cookie.

Notes

Flour Alternatives: Some dogs are allergic to wheat. For a wheat-free option, use rice flour or coconut flour, though this may slightly alter the texture.
Peanut Butter Warning: Avoid peanut butter containing xylitol, as it is toxic to dogs. Stick to natural peanut butter or substitute with nut butter, pumpkin purée, or mashed sweet potato. Adjust the dough consistency as needed.
Honey Caution: Do not give honey to immunocompromised dogs or puppies under 1 year old.
Frosting Consistency: For decorative frosting, use a thicker mixture (2–3 Tbsp water) to outline designs and let it dry for 10 minutes. Use a thinner mixture (3–4 Tbsp water) to fill in the design, smoothing with your finger.
Crunchier Treat Option: For a crispier biscuit, roll the dough thinner or bake at 200°F for a longer time to dry them out.
Storage: Store homemade peanut butter dog treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months or in the freezer for up to 8 months.
