    Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and work it with your hands until it comes together. If the dough feels too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time just until workable.

    Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the treats are firm and crunchy. Let cool completely before serving to your dog.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra-crunchy treats, leave them in the turned-off oven for 15-20 extra minutes after baking.
  • If the dough feels sticky while rolling, lightly dust the surface with additional flour.
  • Bone-shaped cookie cutters make these especially fun for gifting or special occasions.
  • Store cooled treats in an airtight container to help maintain freshness and crunch.
  • Some dogs love a little extra peanut butter flavor — you can add an additional spoonful if desired.
