How to Make a Homemade Dog Biscuit Treat With Rice

Making homemade dog treats is surprisingly simple, a task similar to designing cut-out cookies. While wheat flour is a typical ingredient in most biscuit recipes, some dogs have digestive issues or even allergies to wheat, so exchange brown or white rice flour to give your dog a delicious snack.

Spray a cookie sheet with baking spray and set it aside; preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Place the peanut butter in the bowl. Add the pumpkin puree, mashed sweet potato or applesauce. Stir in the milk and the rice flour. Combine the ingredients with a wooden spoon until they are thoroughly mixed into a dough.

Sprinkle rice flour onto the cutting board or counter top. Place the dough on the flour and knead it for a minute. Roll and pat it into a ball.

Roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness with a rolling pin. Use a cookie cutter to make the biscuit shape of your choice. Place the cut-out biscuits onto the cookie sheet.

Place the cookie tray into the oven and bake the treats for 10 to 15 minutes. The edges will turn brown, and the surface will crack slightly.

Remove the tray from the oven. Allow the biscuits to cool on the tray for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack with a spatula.

Put the softened cream cheese, oil and honey into a mixing bowl and stir until they are thoroughly mixed.

Use a knife to spread the doggie "icing" onto your cut-out biscuit treats; set them back on the wire racks to air-dry. The icing will become firm.

Store the extra biscuits in an airtight container in your pantry. Refrigerate or freeze the biscuits to keep them fresh for a longer period of time.
