Step-by-Step Sweet Potato and Oatmeal Dog Cookies Baking Guide

1. First, preheat your oven. Set it to 350°F (175°C). This is key for even baking.
2. Grab a medium bowl. Combine the mashed sweet potato, rolled oats, whole wheat flour, and that crucial xylitol-free peanut butter.
3. Mix everything well until a thick dough forms. It should hold together nicely.
4. If your dough feels too sticky, don’t worry! Just add a little more whole wheat flour, a tablespoon at a time.
5. Next, lightly flour your work surface. Roll out the dough. Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness.
6. Now, use cookie cutters to make fun shapes. Or, just use a knife to cut squares.
7. Place your cut-out cookies onto a baking sheet. Make sure it’s lined with parchment paper. This stops them from sticking.
8. Bake these delightful cookies for 15 to 20 minutes. You want them to be firm and dry to the touch.
9. Finally, let them cool completely on the baking sheet. This is important for texture.

Once cooled, they are ready for your happy pup!

• Store them properly. An airtight container in the fridge works best.
