“Everything Puppies” on Hallmark Channel gave us SO much doggy fun and lots of doggy treats! While the movie was centered around a new delicious dog treat being introduced to pet stores, I decided to make my own version that I could eat!! Somewhere between a graham cracker and gingerbread cookie, this yummy human treat hits the spot!
Ingredients:
-1/4 cup honey
-1/2 teaspoon water
-splash of lemon juice
-1 3/4 cup flour
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1 teaspoon cinnamon
-1 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
-2/3 cup brown sugar
-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1/4 teaspoon orange extract
Directions:
In a pot, bring water, honey and lemon juice to a boil. Stir for one minute, and when it starts to have a nutty smell, remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Set in fridge for 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat room temp butter, brown sugar, vanilla and orange extracts, and cooled honey.
Slowly add flour mixture until fully combined. Refrigerate dough for two hours.
Roll dough out on a floured surface, and use dog bone shaped cookie cutters to create a dog bone shaped cookie.
Place on non stick baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes.
