• Use whole wheat flour : It is easier for dogs to digest.
• Calculate the quantities : To ensure that the cookies come out well, have the right consistency, and are healthy, you must measure the quantity of each ingredient.

• Apple + carrots
• Egg
• Vegetable oil
• Water

Step by step recipes:

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients for the cookies:

• 200 grams of whole wheat flour
• 1 grated apple
• 2 grated carrots
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon yeast

Preparation of homemade cookies

In a bowl, put the carrot and grated apple and mix everything very well . When everything is well mixed, add the two beaten eggs and the vegetable oil. Again, mix until it becomes a paste.

Subsequently, sprinkle the teaspoon of yeast and the whole wheat flour, continue mixing until you have a consistent ball of dough that can be manipulated . If it is too dry, add a little water, but if on the contrary it is very watery, add a little flour, the result should be similar to bread dough.

Next, once the dough is prepared, sprinkle the flour on the counter or work board and place the dough. You must knead for a few minutes until you achieve an elastic and manageable texture.

You can help yourself with a kitchen mold or a glass to collect the dough for each cookie. Gather the dough as necessary to take out more cookies until there is nothing left.

Next, preheat the oven to 180º. While it is heating, take out the tray and cover it with parchment paper to place the cookies in the shape you have given them. If you do not have paper on the same tray, spread a little oil so that they do not stick.

Finally, bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes , and when they are golden, take them out. They will be delicious!
