Description
I prefer to make my dogs their own treats so I know exactly what is in them. My dogs go crazy for these simple sweet potato treats.
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato
- 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Prick sweet potato several times with a fork. Cook in the microwave on high until tender
- about 6 minutes. Let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Cut potato in half and scoop flesh into a bowl; discard skin. Mash potato with a fork or potato masher. Transfer about 1 cup mashed potato to a large bowl
- saving any remaining for another use.
- Mix whole wheat flour
- eggs
- and applesauce into sweet potato in the bowl until a dough forms.
- Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and roll dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter or cut dough into strips with a pizza cutter. Arrange cookies on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crisp
- 35 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
