Happy Holidays to all ! – Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits Recipe
Everyone is so busy, shopping, cooking and cleaning. But let’s not forget our pups! Make this homemade dog biscuits recipe for them. They divinely deserve it.
Dog Biscuits Recipe
The holidays are always about hustling and bustling at work, around the house, hectic mall and preparing for the family feasts, large and small. This year has been especially chaotic for us and we found ourselves feeling awfully guilty about neglecting the pups. Long days at work have taken away from all the play and dog walking time. Sierra and Dante watch us as we stumble through the door, with tired feet and voices. But now matter how much energy we’re lacking in, they make up for it with grand enthusiasm when we come home. Or maybe they were just hungry for this dog biscuits recipe.
No matter how draining a long work day has been, seeing their energy and happiness when we come home is revitalizing. A dogs love and loyalty is priceless.
For Christmas, we do all we can to make it up to them and to thank them for being such loving companions and friends. We forget and forgive all of the torn shoes and pillows Sierra chomped through, and Dante’s food-stealing-late-night-snoring antics are easily overlooked. We love our pups, no matter how shoeless and sleepless they leave us. They are our family.
So for Christmas all dogs deserve homemade dog biscuits. They’re made from fresh ingredients and are so simple to make that your dogs will love you for life! This homemade dog biscuits recipe are a variation off of our flax seed dog biscuits. With the addition of peanut butter that dogs love so much, they devour these peanut butter biscuits in seconds! Show your dogs how much you love them and bake them the best peanut butter dog biscuits in the world! Well, at least Dante and Sierra think they’re the best!
“oh we love peanut butter biscuit treats!”

Your pups might also love these homemade flax seed dog biscuits.
Here’s our favorite cutter sets. Obviously they have many uses beyond puppy treats, but ours tend to see a lot of action in that department. We love how all of these sets store, ’cause nothing drives us nuts more than messy kitchen drawers:
Cuisipro Heart Cutter Set – Set of 5. Snap together for easy storage Nice heart shape and easy to handle and press.
Fox Run Bone Cutter Set – These are the bone shaped cutters used in the video (and at home all the time) Fun shape! Set of 3, comes in a handy storage tin.
Kayaso Round Cutter Set – This is our favorite round cutter set. Great selection of sizes. We’ll use the smallest for slightly larger than kibble sized training treats. More great ideas for dog biscuits. 
Peanut Butter Dog Biscuit Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups Whole Wheat Flour (340g)
- 2 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour (340g)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt (5g)
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup Peanut Butter (225g)
- 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil (80ml)
- 1 cup Water (240ml)
Instructions
- Combine flours and salt in a mixing bowl. Add eggs and peanut butter and mix until incorporated.
- Mix in oil. Next add enough water until dough is smooth and workable. Cover the dough and set aside for 15-20 min. to relax.
- Preheat oven to 375º F & line a couple baking sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Roll out dough to about 3/8"-1/2" thick. Cut to desired shaped then put on sheet pans.
- Bake for approx. 40-50 minutes or until biscuits are slightly browned, fairly hard, and cooked through (they will harden a touch more when cool.) Set aside to cool then treat the pups liberally.
Hello to you! Can’t believe how lucky I was to come across your web page. I will make these treats today for my “kids” — 2 Jack Russell “TERRORS” , Leo and Pippi, who look like sweet angels when they are curled up & asleep . I hate buying treats because of the awful additives used.
I did have one question: I wanted to try adding variety by creating different thicknesses, sizes,
and vary the degree of chewiness , any ideas?
We’ll make different sizes all the time for the pups now. If you go thicker or thinner, adjust the baking times accordingly to bake them until fairly firm. They will had just a touch of give to them in the oven then will harden once they cool. If they are cooked less and cool soft, they will be fine except they may spoil if there is too much moisture left. For shapes, any cookie cutter, small circles are nice for dog walking treats, or we’ll cut them into strips using a fluted pasta wheel cutter. We have some examples on our flax dog biscuit recipe here. Have fun!
Happy Holidays!
I make a version of these for my 4 legged nieces and nephews and they all love them. I roll mine out very thin, though, and bake them for a shorter period of time. I use my bone shaped cookie cutter, but they also seem to like the different shaped cookies I make for them. (I picked up a TON of vintage cookie cutters at a yard sale for $1 and go to town with my puppy biscuits.) If you have just a bit of dough left over, and don’t want to try to squeeze out any more shapes (and so the dough does not get too tough), you can make small balls and smoosh them down with a fork, in the classic peanut butter cookie shape. I call mine “woofie wafers” and the little ones adore them!
Can you frost these with a peanut butter dog frosting also? My pup is graduating from puppy school and id like to make “special” treats for all the pups!
Sure. That would be so cute. Just don’t keep the frosted ones in your pocket!

I just wanted to say the my dog Lila loves these biscuits. I have changed one thing and that’s I roll them out much thinner. This way I get at least fifty treats and I store them in a ziploc container. She doesn’t like the big thick treats (too hard to chew, although I beginning to think this is just being spoiled on her part because she can certainly chew through all her toys and any bed I buy her.) 🙂 Silly labbie!
These photos are adorable and it’s great to see dogs lucky enough to get home-baked treats. For anyone else making these (or the flax biscuits) — the sugar is not only unnecessary flavor-wise for dogs, it’s really not nutritionally wise. Dogs do not need carbs — dog food companies add sugar to their food for the same reason human food is sugared-up — it makes the eater keep eating. Unlike humans, however, dogs will eat a sugar-free cookie as happily as the sweetened variety! One of the benefits of home-made treats, after all, is avoiding all the fillers that commercial brands use (my personal favorite — stinky treats like “pizza-flavored” that then require you to buy breath-freshening treats as well…). You also might consider replacing the wheat with a gluten-free flour, as many dogs react poorly to the what (itchy skin, digestive issues). You can make your own oat flour by grinding up oats in a processor if you don’t want to buy rice or bean flour. I make pb dog treats with gluten-free flours and dogs love them!
Awesome suggestions michele. Don’t know why I wasn’t considering those things, even though I know them to be true in the back of my head. Time to make up a new doggy biscuit recipe.

These peanut butter biscuits are sooo good and were soooo easy for my grandpa to make. The only liberty he took on the second batch was to substitute one egg with 1 tbsp of milled flax seed and 3 tbsp of water since the flax seed helps my digestion.
Thanks so much, gotta go rustle up some cattle now!
Our dog, Britta, thanks you for both the recipes 🙂 Also, she wants to know if she can still get on Dante and Sierra’s friend-list.
We’ll be trying them this week; Happy New Year!!!
You’re welcome! Happy puppies are good puppies. Or is that dirty puppies? I guess it depends who is answering.
Unfortunetly Dante & Sierra have been absent bloggers, but if we get to take the time to start posting again, we’ll have them add Britta on.
Happy New Year!
