Organic Pumpkin Dog Biscuits


I think it is fun to make these biscuits in the shape of little 
gingerbread men and women, but any shape will do.

Ingredients:
2 organic eggs
½ cup organic pumpkin puree
2 Tablespoons dry milk powder
2 ½ cups whole wheat flour

Method:
Preheat oven to 350*.
Mix all ingredients until well blended. Add 2 teaspoons
(or more) of water: just enough to hold dough together.
Roll on lightly floured surface to ½ inch thick. 
Cut with tiny cookie cutters, or cut into small 1 inch squares. 
Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased, or parchment lined, baking sheet. 
Bake 20 minutes at. Turn over and bake another 20 minutes, until the 
biscuits are hardened. Make certain that these are completely cooked 
(but not burned), otherwise they will be soft and will become moldy.
Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet. Transfer to a baking rack and cool completely.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Makes about 46 small biscuits.

Note:
We do not have a dog in our home, but many of our family members and friends do. Once or twice a year, I give these treats, as gifts, for their doggies. Both big and small breeds love these! Since we are acquainted with so many pooches, I triple the recipe and use one 15 ounce can of organic pumpkin.
(Some dogs have special diet guidelines. Please show this recipe to your vet to see if it is suitable for your pet.)
