Dog Christmas cookie recipes

Whilst we come together to eat, drink and be merry – there’s no reason why your pet should miss out! Your greyhound deserves holiday treats as much as you do, so whip up some great dog-friendly cookies this Christmas.

Here are some dog-friendly cookie recipes you can try which keep well in air-tight containers (but we think they will be gobbled up quick-smart!).

·       Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.

·       Line a baking tray with baking paper

·       Roll the dough out to about 1cm thickness, and use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. ( or you can roll the dough into  2.5cm balls and flatten them with your palm)

·       Store in an air-tight container at room temperature.

Ingredients:

·       ¾ cup of pumpkin puree

·       ¼ cup peanut butter

·       1 egg

·       3 cups oat flour

·       ¼ cup dried cranberries

·       ¼ cup water

Instructions:

·       Whisk pumpkin, peanut butter, and egg together.

·       Add half of the flour and mix well and then add the remaining flour.

·       Turn the dough out onto the counter and knead until a firm dough forms.

·       In a small saucepan, bring water and cranberries to a simmer and boil down until the water is bright red.

·       Strain the cranberry reduction and let the liquid cool completely.

·       Split your dough into equal halves.

·       Add the cooled cranberry juice to one of the halves (add it slowly until the mixture is the desired colour but not too wet).

·       Roll the dough from both halves into 5cm balls and then into long, skinny logs. (keep the two colours separate during this process)

·       Take one red and one plain long and twist them around each other to make a striped pattern.

·       Form a candy cane shape with the twisted strips and pinch the top and bottom edges lightly to seal the two strips.

·       Place baking tray and bake for 20-24 minutes or until the bottom begins to brown.

·       Cool completely before serving.

·       Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
