Treat your canine companion with some tasty homemade treats! Three simple ingredients (dog and humane safe of course) make these cookies easy to whip together. If you’re feeling fancy, cut them out into cute dog approved shapes like bones. If you’re in a slight time crunch, simply roll the dough into small balls and flatten slightly before baking. Remember to check your peanut butter to ensure it has no added sugar or oils, especially Xylitol. Xylitol is toxic for our furry friends so please do not use ingredients containing it.
