Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ceylon cinnamon
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce (can use 1 egg instead of applesauce)

Icing

  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp ceylon cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

Topper

  • food coloring dyed coconut flakes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until well blended.
  • Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest for 5 minutes allowing the oats to expand.
  • Flour hands and knead the dough to a playdoh like consistency.
  • Add more flour if the batter is too sticky or liquidy; add a few drops of water if it is too dry.
  • Make a ball out of the dough.
  • Place on a floured cutting board or on floured parchment paper on the counter.
  • Four a rolling pin and your hands.
  • Roll the dough out to ¼ inch thickness.
  • Cut out desired cookie shapes (it was Easter, so I used 2 egg shape cookie cutters I found at Walmart)
  • Place the cut out shapes on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until slightly brown.
  • Allow to thoroughly cool and decorate with peanut butter icing.
  • To give them some color, add food coloring dyed coconut flakes as a topper.
  • Share with your fur babies.

Notes

  • When using peanut butter in dog treats always check to make sure it doesn't contain xylitol. Xylitol is an artificial sweetener that a few brands use and it can be fatal to dogs.
