The Road Dog, Carrot Hog Cookie

So in our house the pups rule.  Like all dominating little dogs, bossing humans around all day can really work up an appetite.  Our furry friends all have different preferences and sensitivities to foods, but one thing they can all agree upon is that carrots are delicious.  No sooner do the carrot tops start to thrive in the garden, the dogs are digging them up and carrying away their little carrot treasures.  So this ones for the carrot lovers in all of our homes.

Simple Ingredient List:
1 apple
1 carrot
1/2 C. flax meal
1/4 C. water

Chop the apple up and combine with water in blender.  Puree till applesauce like consistency.
Grate carrot (you can use pulp for a smoother batter and form them into fun shapes, but I wanted visible chunks of carrot in mine)

Fold all ingredients together.

If dehydrating, spread onto teflex sheet into desired shape and score to break apart easier when dry.    After a couple hours you will want to flip the cookies off the teflex sheet to completely dry (mine took about 8 hours, but it will depend on your dehydrator).  If using your oven spread batter onto cookie sheet and set oven to lowest temperature. Prop the oven door open a couple inches and monitor for desired crispiness.

I dry mine till crunchy, then break apart and store in an airtight jar in the ice box.  You could leave them a little chewie but they will not keep as long.  

Behold the power of the cookie!!  

Carroty good and puppy approved.
ENJOY
