Recipe Note
FAQs
1. Can I use any peanut butter?
Best to use peanut butter that contains just peanuts — no xylitol or added sugar. Make your own peanut butter for dogs here!
2. How do I store these cookies?
Once fully cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed bag or container for up to 3 months.
3. How many treats can my dog have?
These treats are high in calories and fat due to the peanut butter, so it’s best to serve them in moderation—especially for small dogs or those watching their weight. As a general guideline, treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily caloric intake. For tiny pups, that might mean just a small bite, while larger dogs can enjoy a bit more. Always adjust treat portions based on your dog’s size, activity level, and overall diet to help maintain a healthy weight.
4. Are these safe for dogs with allergies?
These treats are made with just two simple ingredients and are both grain-free and egg-free, making them a great option for many dogs with common food sensitivities. However, every dog is different—if your pup has known allergies or a sensitive stomach, it’s always best to introduce new foods slowly.
5. Can I double the batch?
Absolutely! Use the same ratios and store extras in the freezer.
6. What if I want a crunchier texture?
Bake for 2–3 minutes longer, but monitor closely so they don’t burn.
