Pumpkin Pie Dog Biscuits

These little dog biscuits are perfect for Thanksgiving and smell great. And making these cookies yourself is a lot more affordable than buying the organic ones from a bakery or pet supply store!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ginger
• 2 Tbsp canola oil
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup natural unsalted peanut butter
• 1/4 cup filtered water

1. Preheat the oven to 325F.
   
2. Measure the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and ginger into a mixing bowl. Whisk until combined.
3. Make a well in the flour and add the canola oil. Mix at medium speed with a spatula or paddle attachment. Add the pumpkin and peanut butter, and stir until combined.
4. Add the water all at once and mix until dough forms and all the ingredients are combined.
5. Turn the dough out onto a slightly floured surface and gently knead until dough is smooth and soft. Roll the dough 1/4 inch thick, and cut the biscuits into desired shapes with cookie cutters.
6. Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake 12-15 minutes until they are dry and firm to the touch. Turn the oven off and leave the biscuits in another 20-30 minutes. Remove them from the oven, cool them on a cooling rack, and store them in a cookie tin.
