My thoughtful cousin recently gave me a doggie cookie cutter with my German Shepherd Tuckers name on it, for his 4th birthday. His doggie daycare offers birthday parties for their dog clients so I made paleo treats for 20 of his best friends! Then I made my decadent sea salt chocolate bark for people treats for the staff.
Grain Free Pumpkin Dog Treats
Author: Melissa Malinowski, ND
Serves: 20
Ingredients
- 2½ cups grain free flour (coconut flour and almond flour)
- 3 tablespoons nut butter or peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300.
- In a large bowl, mix the nut or peanut butter, eggs and pumpkin puree.
- Add the flour and stir until well-blended.
- Flour a piece parchment paper, the rolling pin and your cookie cutter, the dough will be sticky. You may need to re-flour these items as you make your treats.
- Transfer the dough to the floured piece of parchment paper and roll the dough to approximately ¼-inch thickness. Cut out the cookies using a cookie-cutter of choice, here are some cute dog molds. Re-roll the scraps and cut out more cookies.
- If you don't want to roll the dough and use a cookie cutter, you can just spoon out dough (~1tsp), press flat on parchment paper and bake.
- If the dough is too sticky and soft for your molds, then place in the freezer for 30 min before using the mold.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown.
- Store leftovers in air tight container in the fridge for up to 10 days or store in baggie in freezer.

I used coconut flour and it was way too crumbly. I no matter how much liquid I put into the batch it wasn’t sticking together.
Do the cookies need to be refrigerated or just the dough?
The leftovers. If the dough is too sticky and soft for your molds, then place in the freezer for 30 min before using the mold.
What are your thoughts on just using almond flour?
Sure!
