Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Add the whole wheat flour, egg, and pumpkin puree to a large mixing bowl.

Stir the ingredients together while gradually adding the water until a firm dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth enough to roll.

Roll the dough to approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Use a small round cookie cutter to cut an even number of cookies.

Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, or until firm and lightly golden.

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely.

Spread a thin layer of xylitol free peanut butter onto the flat side of half of the cookies.

Place the remaining cookies on top and gently press them together to create the sandwich treats.

Refrigerate the finished treats for about 15 to 20 minutes to help the peanut butter firm up before serving.

Always use peanut butter that is completely xylitol free. Check the ingredient label carefully before using it.

Use plain pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling.

Keep the peanut butter layer thin so the treats are easier for your dog to eat.

For small dogs, use a smaller cookie cutter and offer an appropriately sized portion.

Store the finished treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can also be frozen for longer storage.

These treats are intended as an occasional snack and should not replace your dog's complete and balanced food.
