Spring is almost here and Easter is right around the corner. Is it time for you to whip up a new batch of homemade dog treats? Here’s a yummy new recipe for you to try that makes a great gift for your own pup or to share with your dog-lovin’ friends. These frosted Homemade Easter Egg Cookie Dog Treats are a sweet and fun way to treat your pet to an adorable holiday themed snack. If you want to avoid the food coloring, go ahead and leave it out of the frosting recipe, they would still be cute iced in white.
Homemade Easter Egg Cookie Dog Treats Ingredients:
- ½ cup Peanut Butter
- 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 cup Steel Cut Oats
- 1 cup Hot Chicken Broth
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Honey
Easter Dog Treats Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Place steel cut oats in blender, food processor, or coffee grinder until they are almost at a powder/flour consistency.
- Combine peanut butter, hot chicken broth, olive oil, and honey. Stir until dissolved.
- Stir in ground oatmeal and flour until well combined. (I like to use my hands to make sure everything is completely mixed.)
- Place dough on a powdered surface and roll out to a 1/4” thickness.
- Cut out shapes with egg shaped cookie cutters. (These are really cute! Includes a bunny and carrot cookie cutter, too!)
- Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
- Ice cookies if desired (instructions below), place back in oven for 2-3 minutes.
Dog Cookie Icing Ingredients:
- 4 Tbsp. Whole Wheat Flour
- 2 Tbsp. Water
- Natural Food Coloring (Optional)
- Note: If you are leery of food coloring then you can top them off with an all-natural peanut butter icing, plain yogurt icing or leave them plain.
Dog Cookie Icing Directions:
- Mix flour and water until smooth.
- Divide “icing” into snack size sandwich bags.
- Add 1-2 drops food coloring, massage bag until thoroughly mixed.
- Squeeze all mixture to one corner of the bag.
- For creating details like lines and polka dots-Snip of a tiny corner of bag and squeeze gently as you go, drawing on your cookies.
- Or simply ice the entire top surface with a butter knife.
Storage:
Let cookies cool, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

OMGeee…I’ve never made my own dog treats, but we have all the ingredients and these looks so cute. I know our Annabelle will eat it (she eats everything), but the real test will be Dusty (he’s picky). Pinned (I even created a new board just for this) and will be making these.
Pet Coupon Savings says
Great! Let me know how they turn out. :)
Erlene says
What temp. is the oven?
Pet Coupon Savings says
350 degrees. Thanks for asking! Just added it in the recipe. :)
Erlene says
I actually made these without the icing and the dogs seemed to like it. I’ll probably add a bit more peanut butter in it next time for extra flavor.
Pet Coupon Savings says
I’m glad they liked them Erlene! :) Maybe try out our Pumpkin Peanut Butter Treats recipe next time and see if they might find those more flavorful?

Does this icing harden up? Making them in a few days so very excited.
