Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup water (or more as needed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, ground flaxseed, whole wheat flour, water, egg, and honey (if using). Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until it holds together.
- Roll and Cut: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the treats are golden brown. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Store: Once cooled, store the treats in an airtight container. They should last for about a week, or you can freeze them for longer storage.
