Sweet Potato Apple Dog Treat for Holiday Gift !!

Here is a recipe, I had to post.  


These healthy treats, I am sure your dog will love.. Not only for your own pet, but you can gift as well....

3/4 cup cooked plain mashed sweet potatoes 


3  TB chicken or beef broth (or water)

2  cups 365 Everyday Value® Organic 100% Whole Wheat Pastry Flour, plus more for dusting

1/2  cup fine yellow cornmeal 

1/4  cup finely chopped mint 

1  Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and grated

Preheat oven to 325°F. 

Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk 

together sweet potatoes and broth. Add flour, cornmeal, mint and apples and stir until 

combined. Knead the dough a few times until it holds together. Roll out half of the

dough on a generously floured surface until about 1⁄4" thick. Use (2" to 4") cookie 

cutters to cut out treats. Transfer to baking sheets; reroll and cut the scraps. Bake until 

dried and just slightly golden on the bottoms, 35 to 40 minutes. Turn off the oven, leave

oven door ajar and let the treats cool and dry out in the oven for 1 to 2 hours. Store in 

an airtight container up to 1 week.
