Carrot Dog Cookies
These Carrot Dog Cookies are a simple homemade treat made with real carrots and pantry-friendly flours. The carrots are cooked until super soft, blended into a smooth purée, then mixed into an easy dough you can roll and cut into any shape. They bake up into lightly crunchy little cookies — perfect for snack time or as a cute reward.
Carrot Purée Instructions
- Peel the carrots, slice them into small pieces, and cook until very soft.
- Drain well and let the carrots cool completely.
- Add the cooked carrots to a food processor with the water and blend until you get a smooth purée.
Dough and Baking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the carrot purée with the oat flour, rice flour, salt, cinnamon, and thyme. Mix until a dough forms.
- If the dough feels sticky, add a little more oat flour (1 tbsp at a time). If it feels too dry, add a tiny splash of water.
- Lightly dust your work surface with oat flour. Roll the dough to about 4–5mm thickness.
- Cut out cookies in any shape you like and place them on the prepared sheet pan.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until set and lightly golden at the edges (smaller shapes bake faster).
- Cool completely before serving.
- Store in an airtight container: up to 3 days at room temperature, or up to 1 week in the fridge.
Notes
- Cook the carrots until they’re very soft — it makes the purée smooth and the dough easier to work with.
- Drain carrots well so the dough doesn’t get too wet; watery purée can make rolling tricky.
- Fruit/veg moisture varies a lot, so adjust with small amounts of oat flour or water as needed.
- For crunchier cookies (and longer storage), turn the oven off after baking and let them sit inside with the door slightly open for 15–20 minutes.
- Keep treats small and adjust portions to your dog’s size and diet needs.
