Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats

Recipe From: Use Real Butter

2 1/2 white wheat flour cups (or whole wheat), extra flour for rolling out
2 large eggs
2/3 cup pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
3 tbsp smooth peanut butter

Egg Wash (optional) 1 egg beaten with some water or milk.

1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. In a medium bowl or in a Kitchen Aid bowl, mix together all of the ingredients until its a bit crumbly. Using your hands form the dough into a ball, if the dough is still too dry, add in some water.If you dough is a little wet, just add some more flour on the cutting board and knead before rolling out the dough.
3. On a floured board, roll out the dough until it's about 1/4-1/8" thick (the original recipe used 1/4'' thick).  You can either cut strips on the dough and then cut those into squares or you can use a cookie cutter of you choice. I used a 1'' scalloped edge cutter. Cut out as many treats as you can until you have to re-roll the dough and start again.
4. Place the treats on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper & brush with egg wash, if using. You can crowd these treats close together since they don't spread out, they just puff up slightly. The original recipe said to bake for 15-20 minutes for a "soft" cookie & 30 minutes for a hard cookie, but I baked mine for 15 minutes and they were crunchy with a slightly soft middle. I made 4 heart shaped treats that were 4'' wide and they took about 25-30 minutes to get hard.
5. Cool the treats completely before storing in an air-tight container.

6. For the frosting I just mixed a couple of spoonfuls of plain yogurt and peanut butter together until it had a nice creamy texture!
