Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups of Oatmeal flour (simply place 1 1/2 cups of regular oatmeal in the food processor and grind till fine : )
1/2 – 1 cup of dried cranberries
1 cup of pure packed pumpkin…NOT pumpkin pie in a can…pure pumpkin
2 large eggs
1/2 cup peanut butter of your choice…smooth…chunky…natural…
1/2 – 1 cup of dried cranberries…check out the wonderful health benefits from cranberries…there are many! DO NOT USE RAISINS instead…they are on the DOG POISON LIST!!!
1 tablespoon of organic brown sugar (optional) it just adds a little touch of sweetness and distributed over 100 small treats…it does not present a problem : ) but it can be left out.
Directions:
Use a standing mixer…crack your two eggs into the mixing bowl and beat for about 1 minute…then add the packed pumpkin…mix for a minute and then add your peanut butter and beat till everything is nice and creamy. Now slowly add your flours and the dried cranberries until you get a nice thick…not too sticky…not too dry dough…one that is perfect for rolling. If the dough is a bit sticky…just add a touch more flour and if it is too dry…a little bit more peanut butter or a little bit of milk. Flour your work area and take the dough out of the bowl and put it on the floured surface…cut in half…and roll the dough to approximately 1/4″ thickness and then cut away with your favorite cookie cutter! Gather the scraps and roll them out and start cutting out shapes till all the dough is used. Line 2 cookie trays with parchment paper and load them up with the treats. You can place close together since they do not rise. Bake in a 350 oven for 30 minutes…depending on your oven a few minutes more or less.
