- Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until firm, these cookies should be a little crunchy and golden brown.
- Cool the cookies on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes, then you can give one to your favorite pup.
Notes
Read labels carefully and use a peanut butter that only includes peanuts. A few rare peanut butter include a sugar substitute named Xylitol
The pumpkin should be just pumpkin for this recipe, no extra additives.
You can use frozen pumpkin, just defrost and drain any excess liquid before adding to the cookie dough.
The amount of water in different cans of pumpkin can vary which can make the difference of the cookies turning out soft or crunchy. To make sure your cookies come out crispy pat the pumpkin dry with paper towels. If after mixing the dough seems a little on the wet side add more ground oats a tablespoon at a time.
If you don't have a bone shaped cookie cutter, you can use another cookie cutter that is about two inches wide or simply slice the treats into squares.
