Super Simple Sweet Potato Dog Treats

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View Pierce the sweet potato multiple times with a fork. Microwave on high until tender, approximately 6 minutes. Allow to cool until you can handle it comfortably. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Halve the potato and scoop out the flesh into a bowl, discarding the skin. Mash the potato thoroughly with a fork or potato masher. Measure out 1 cup of mashed potato into a large mixing bowl, reserving any remaining potato for another culinary adventure. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In the bowl with the mashed sweet potato, combine the whole wheat flour, eggs, and applesauce. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. It should be firm but pliable. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Roll it out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Use cookie cutters to create fun shapes, or use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into strips. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Arrange the prepared cookies on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until the treats are crisp and golden brown, about 35 to 45 minutes. (40 minutes)

Recipe View Let the cookies cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them retain their shape and crispness. (20 minutes)
