Easy Pet-friendly Christmas Recipes

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 F Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine ingredients in a bowl and mix until it’s clumpy and not sticky. I used my hands to make sure the dough was well combined and no dry ingredients were left out.
• Lay down a sheet of parchment paper on your work surface and place the dough on the parchment sheet. Lay another sheet of parchment paper over the dough and use a rolling pin to roll dough to ¼ inch thick.
• Once it is to your thickness liking, peel off the top parchment paper. Use your desired cookie cutter to start cutting out the treats. Place on your lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 F. Let cool completely. Store in an air tight container or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

2. Candy Canes

Ingredients

• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• ½ cup powdered milk
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 large eggs (set one aside for egg wash) 1 tsp.
• Peppermint oil red food coloring (optional)

Instructions

• Whisk all your wet ingredients together until well combined. Add dry ingredients, one at a time, stirring between each addition to incorporate.
• Knead dough on floured surface for 2-3 minutes. Divide dough in half, make a well in one half and add the peppermint and food coloring – working it in and adding food coloring until desired color is reached.
• Place both dough rolls back into bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour to firm dough.
• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Cover a cookie sheet in foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk egg for wash in a small bowl.
• Remove dough from refrigerator, break each dough color up into an equal number of pieces- about a Tbsp. or so in size-depending on the size of the recipient.
• Roll each ball into a small snake-like shape. Work on a long sheet of wax paper creating candy canes to prevent sticking- dough will still be somewhat sticky and that is normal.
• Twist one of each color together and bend the end to create a hook shape. Place your “Candy Cane” on the foil lined baking sheet. Brush each with egg wash.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes.
