- 1 cup (237 ml) rolled oats
Flour:

Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by setting the temperature to 350°F, creating an ideal baking atmosphere for homemade canine treats.

- Using gentle pressure, shape the dough into petite, round morsels, maintaining uniform size for consistent baking.
- Carefully arrange the formed cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, providing ample spacing between each treat.
- Position the baking sheet in the preheated oven, allowing the cookies to transform for 20-25 minutes until the edges develop a satisfying crunch while maintaining a tender center.
- Remove the baking sheet and transfer cookies to a cooling rack, permitting them to reach room temperature completely before presenting to your furry companion.

- Select wild-caught salmon for optimal nutrition and fewer contaminants for your furry friend.
- Use finely grated carrots to ensure even distribution and easier digestion for dogs.
- Adjust baking time based on your dog’s size and preferred cookie texture, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, maintaining freshness and preventing spoilage.
