Halloween Dog Cookies Peanut Butter Dog Treat
Need a peanut butter dog treat for Halloween trick or treaters? Try this Halloween dog cookie recipe. Made from healthy ingredients, these Halloween cookies are easy and fun to make!

I like to use my bread-maker to make this dog cookie recipe super simple and to cut down on the time it takes to make the dog cookies. If you don't have a bread-maker, you can use your mixer with a bread hook or mix the dough and knead the dog treat dough by hand. This holiday dog treats recipe is a great one to use with children. The dough is easy to work with, and the dog cookies are really cute when they are done. Have your children wrap the finished peanut butter dog treat cookies in plastic wrap and put them in little Halloween trick or treat bags, and you'll be ready for the first canine Halloween trick or treaters that come to your door!

The Cookie Cutter The peanut butter dog cookies in the photo were made with a Wilton Push 'n Print cookie cutter set. This particular set was a Halloween set and creates embossed cookies. I wasn't able to find a good source of these for you, online. Perhaps you can get one at a craft store near you. I purchased mine at Michaels and was fortunate to find it discounted after Halloween last year. It's really quite easy to use the cookie cutter. All you do is roll your dough into a sheet. Position the cutter on the dough and press it to cut a circle. Leaving the cutter in place, push down on the little plunger to emboss the cookie with the design. The cookie cutter comes with 3 plastic designs. You simply change the plastic circle to use the one that you want to make.

Although I included these peanut butter dog treat cookies in holiday dog treats recipies, you can make these Halloween dog cookies any time of the year. Simply use another cookie cutter, and you'll be set for another holiday or dog cookies for that special dog that loves peanut butter dog treats—every day of the year. Here's the recipe...

Ingredients for Halloween Peanut Butter Dog Treat
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons
wheat germ
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
- 1/4 cup
cornmeal
- 1/3 cup
peanut butter
- 1 cup water
- 1 ¼ cup white flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1-2 tablespoons
tumeric
- 1-2 tablespoons beet powder
Directions for Peanut Butter Holiday Dog Treats
- Place all the ingredients in your bread-maker, according to the manufacturer's instructions. The tumeric and beet powder are for coloring. You can use more or less, depending on the intensity of color that you want to get. If you combine the yellow tumeric and the red beet powder, you will get a shade of orange.
Coloring Because I use whole wheat flour, I also get brown tones. If you substitute unbleached flour for the whole wheat flour, you can use less tumeric and beet powder to get an orange color. Also, if you are not an absolute purist, you can use yellow and red food coloring to get the color that you want—instead of beet powder and tumeric. Or use a mixture of the two. - When the dough is ready, roll it to a 1/4” thickness.
- Cut a circle with the cutter, then press the plunger to emboss each cookie.
- Using a spatula or flipper, place the cookies on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
- Bake the dog cookies for 1 hour at 300 degrees F.
- Turn off the oven and let the cookies dry in the oven overnight. They should be hard and crisp, not soft or giving. Turn them over once to let the underside dry thoroughly.
Storage Remember that
homemade dog treats
, made with healthy ingredients, can get moldy if left at room temperature, especially if the air is humid. And the ingredients that make them so healthy, can get rancid if stored at room temperature for a long time. Store the peanut butter dog treats in a cool dry place in an airtight container. The refrigerator is perfect.
