RECIPES FROM: CLICK HERE

PUP-KIN COOKIES INGREDIENTS: 2 1/2 CUPS FLOUR 2 LARGE EGGS 1 CUP CANNED PUMPKIN 3 TBSP. CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER

DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all ingredients into a dough, then form into a ball. Roll out the dough on a floured surface; use a fall-inspired or puppy-themed cookie cutter to cut out the dough into shapes. Place the “cookies” onto a baking sheet. For softer cookies, bake 15-20 minutes. If you want cookies with a little extra crunch, bake for about 30 minutes.

TURKEY MEDALLIONS INGREDIENTS: 6 OUNCES OF WHITE TURKEY, COOKED 1/2 CUP CHOPPED CARROTS 1/2 CUP OATMEAL

DIRECTIONS: Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Blitz all three ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Roll the mixture into little balls, then bake on a cookie sheet for 15 minutes.

APPLE PIE BITES INGREDIENTS: 2 APPLES, CORED AND DICED 1 TBSP CINNAMON 1 TBSP HONEY 1 TSP VANILLA EXTRACT 1 TBSP COCONUT OIL 2 CUPS AP FLOUR (OAT FLOUR WORKS GREAT TOO) 1 1/2 TSP BAKING POWDER 1/4 CUP MILK 1 EGG

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350º. Wash, core, and dice or grate the apples.

To your diced apple, add the cinnamon, vanilla, honey, and coconut oil and stir thoroughly. Add the flours and baking powder next, stirring to combine. This will resemble a crumble more than a cookie dough, don’t be alarmed! Add the milk and egg, and give it a final stir. Drop small spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.You can either leave the dough in spherical form or press down lightly with a fork to create a flatter, crunchier cookie. Bake 20 minutes, or until the tops attain some golden color and there are some crunchy bits on the edges, but the bottom isn’t too browned.
