Gingerbread Treats for Dogs & Their Humans Recipe from a novel
Amy makes these great treats for her dog and herself.
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 2 Tbsp ground ginger
- ¾ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp clove
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup canola oil
- ¾ cup molasses
- 2 Tbsp honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Combine the flour, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix well, then add the water, oil, molasses, and honey to the bowl and stir.
- Continue to stir until the batter is thick but pliable.
- If needed, add flour to thicken or water to thin.[I found it was initially too thin and I needed to add more flour]
- Transfer the dough to a cutting board and use cookie cutters to create cute shapes. I recommend creating gingerbread men, women, and canines!
- Place the shapes on a greased baking sheet and bake them for 20 minutes.
- Remove the sheet from the oven and flip the cookies, then return them to the oven for 20 minutes.
- Now you just have to wait for them to cool, decorate for the humans, leave plain for the dogs (or add a nice, tasty coating of peanut butter), and enjoy!
