Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. n a large bowl, combine flour and the egg. Add the peanut butter, water, and honey, and stir until you have a stiff dough. The dough becomes very firm and sticky. You may need to use your hands, or the paddle attachment on your mixer.
2½ cups whole wheat flour,
1 large egg,
1 cup peanut butter,
1 cup water,
2 tablespoons honey
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough about ½-inch thick and use a cookie cutter to make fun shapes. The treats barely spread and rise, so get creative with your shapes.
4. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden. Once done, set aside to cool. (If you have smaller cookies, use less time, otherwise the bottom might burn.)
5. To make the frosting, combine the peanut butter and honey in a microwavable bowl, and heat in the microwave in 15 second increments, stirring in between, until melted.
2 tablespoons peanut butter,
1 tablespoon honey
Add the melted peanut butter mixture to the cornstarch and stir until just combined.
⅓ cup cornstarch
6. Slowly add in the water 1 tablespoon at a time until you have reached the consistency that you would like. For a thinner frosting, add more water.
3-4 tablespoons hot water
7. Add the frosting to a piping bag and pipe designs on top of each dog treat.
Frost the treats with the peanut butter/honey mixture for an even more tempting cookie.
