Lola’s Pumpkin Dog Biscuits

Today I bring you a different kind of treat. It doesn’t involve cake, frosting, or even cookies.

But it’s still decadent and finger paw-lickin’ good - depending on who you ask.

I just couldn’t leave the canines out. I even had my own personal taste tester.

Her name is Lola. She’s a teensy bit spoiled.

 

And obviously, I’m not the only one making these homemade dog biscuits. Petsmart sells these adorable little cookie cutters! How cute is that little fire hydrant!?

 

These were very easy to make.

And very dry. Definitely a dog biscuit.

Lola’s Pumpkin Dog Biscuits
yield: approx. 24 dog biscuits

slightly adapted from Simmer Till Done

You will need:
2 eggs
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons dry milk
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
2 1/2 cups rice flour (or corn flour)*
1 package (16 oz) Vanilla CandiQuik Coating

Whisk together eggs and pumpkin in a medium bowl. Stir in dry milk, sea salt, and parsley.

Gradually add flour (corn or rice) to pumpkin mixture and stir until a stiff, dry mixture is formed. (You may need to a little more flour if the mixture is still sticky)

(*I used rice flour and masa (corn flour), which can be found in the Asian & Hispanic aisles of most grocery stores.)

Roll out dough onto a smooth surface, 1/4 – 1/2″ thick. Cut into shapes with cookie cutter.

 

Bake for 40 minutes, turning biscuits over halfway through.

Once completely cooled, melt Vanilla Candiquik in tray, as directed on package.

Dip biscuits in coating and place on wax paper to set.

Have fun with these! Drizzle, pipe your pup’s name on them, add little designs, etc.

    I would love to do this with our Girl Scout troop and maybe donate them to a shelter. I’m just wondering since chocolate is a no-no for dogs, why are these okay? Thanks in advance! So very, very cute!!!
