Thanksgiving Dog Cookies

Adapted from Whole Foods Market

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 medium sweet potato boiled and mashed with cooking water, about 3/4 cup
• 1 jar turkey baby food*
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup fine yellow cornmeal
• 1 apple, peeled, cored and grated

METHOD:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees
• In a large bowl whisk together mashed sweet potato, turkey and apple
• Add flour and cornmeal; stir until combined
• Knead dough until it holds together
• Roll out on floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick
• Cut out treats with cookie cutters
• Bake 35-40 minutes until dried and slightly golden on bottoms
• Turn off oven and leave door ajar letting treats cool and dry out in oven for 1-2 hours
• Store in airtight container for up to 1 week

* Can substitute 3 tablespoons water - one of my dogs doesn't like fruit and vegetables so I added the jar of turkey baby food.  They all LOVE these cookies!
