• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. ginger
• 1 tsp. allspice
• 2 tbsp. canola oil

Additional Flour for Rolling

4. Make a well in the flour and pour in the pumpkin mixture.
5. Using a stand mixer, begin to combine the wet and dry ingredients on low.
6. Pour in the water and mix on low, to medium low, until thoroughly combined.
7. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and hand knead the dough until no longer sticky.
8. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into shapes with your favorite dog cookie cutters.
9. Spray a baking sheet with baking spray.
10. Place the cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes.
11. Turn the oven off and leave in for another 30 minutes.
12. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Storing - This recipe, as well as other recipes for pet treats, can be stored for later enjoyment. Since they are baked quite hard, you can keep them in an air tight container for approximately 2 weeks. If you bake a softer pumpkin pie biscuit, you can store them in the refrigerator for 4 weeks, and in the freezer for 6 months.

Yield - You will get around 100 cookies using a small 1 inch cookie cutter. You most likely will get two baking sheets full of cookies, no matter what size cookie cutter you use.

Pumpkin Wafers

• One 15 oz. can mashed pure pumpkin (NOT the spiced pie filling)
• 3/4 cup cream of wheat (or rice cereal if wheat-sensitive) You can mix this dry--no need to cook it first
• 1/2 cup dry powdered milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 F. Mix all ingredients together. Drop small spoonfuls (I use about half of a tablespoon) onto a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

If you'd like to make bite sized cookies for small dogs, training rewards or just small treats, you can use a pastry bag and squeeze out rosettes about the size of a dime for tasty bite sized cookies! Depending on the size, this recipe will make around 20 treats.
