Treat Your Dog to the Easter Bunny’s Carrot Cookies

Easter is a time for celebration, and what better way to include your furry companion than with a special treat? These Easter Bunny’s Carrot Cookies are not only delicious but also healthy for your dog. Made with natural ingredients, these cookies are a perfect way to show your pup some love during the holiday season.

Why Carrot Cookies?

Carrots are a great source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are also low in calories, making them a healthy snack for dogs. The natural sweetness of carrots can be a great alternative to artificial sweeteners often found in commercial dog treats.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup grated carrots
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, carrots, applesauce, yogurt, water, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Mix until well combined.
3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
4. Use cookie cutters to shape the dough into desired shapes.
5. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Let the cookies cool completely before giving them to your dog.

Tips:

• For a more festive touch, use Easter-themed cookie cutters.
• If your dog has allergies, you can substitute the wheat flour with a gluten-free alternative.
• Store leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Enjoy these Easter Bunny’s Carrot Cookies with your furry friend and create lasting memories.
