Notes
This recipe is adapted from The Cookie Rookie - www.thecookierookie.com Please check out the website for more wonderful recipesUsing crunchy peanut butter can add a nice texture, but will not help when frosting your cookiesI love using coconut flour for my dog treats, but you can change that to wholewheat, almond, etc. Just know that different flours have different liquid absorption rates, so you might need to add or reduce the water amount.If you cook the treats in a convection oven you will need to reduce the heat to 300°f. Keep an eye on the treats, so they do not burn. Every oven has its own little quirks, so learning how your oven reacts is important.Local honey has health benefits as it helps your immune(and therefore your dogs) system, as the bees are filtering the local pollen's etcI have not tried freezing these cookies, so let me know if you do. I would expect that the raw dough could be frozen, and then cooked at a later date, so you can make a full batch or double batch and cook what you need.I have three dogs so we get though a lot of treats
