Tadaa !! Cookie treats is ready !!
The cookies will actually become like a pillow shape after baking.
* You can try eating the cookies too. The texture is hard, yes hard to bite for human but your dogs definitely won't have any problem with that. You can taste & smell the purple sweet potatoes. Slight sweetness from the sweet potato.
* The cookies should be fully dry, especially the center otherwise it will turn moldy. Therefore when rolling the dough, do not roll too thick. For thicker piece of dough, you will need to bake longer. The reason I use the fork to poke the center is to allow the center to bake thoroughly.
* You can substitute with orange color / yellow color sweet potato as well.
* Best to consume within 2 weeks. You may store all your homemade treats in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life, as they are made without preservatives and additives.
Hope that your dog enjoys these Homemade Sweet Potato Dog Treats
