PREP

Preheat the oven to 300°F.

BONES

In a medium bowl, mix whole-wheat flour, water, creamy peanut butter, and blackstrap molasses with a spoon until thoroughly combined.

Add 1 or 2 more tablespoons of water so that the dough is moist and comes together.

BUILD

Put the dough on a floured surface and press with your hands until the dough is about 1/4 inch thick.

Using a 2-inch dog-bone cutter (like this one), cut out dog treats, and place them close together on a large baking sheet.

Bake treats for 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave in to harden for a few hours or overnight.

Decorate

When treats are dry and cooled, melt carob chips, in a double boiler or microwave.

Dip half of the dog bone into the melted carob and set on a rack to dry.

NOTES + SERVING TIPS

Store in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Pro Tip: If you do not own a cookie cutter, you can use a small cookie scoop and flatten the dough with the palm of your hand.
