Preheat your oven to 350°F. This step is crucial as it ensures your biscuits bake evenly. You want that perfect crunchy texture!
Add the cooked sweet potatoes, eggs, and applesauce to a large mixing bowl. Mix them well until you achieve a smooth consistency. The mixture may appear a bit thick, but that’s okay.
Next, gradually stir in the whole wheat flour. The dough will start to form and become stiff. If you find it easier, use your hands to knead the dough rather than a spoon.
Divide the dough in half. This will make it easier to roll out later. Sprinkle some additional flour on your work surface to prevent sticking.
Roll out the dough to about ⅛-inch thick. You’ll want it thin enough to cut shapes but thick enough to hold together.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the rolled dough. You can choose fun shapes like bones or hearts to make them more appealing.
Place the cut shapes onto an ungreased baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between them, as they might puff up a little while baking.
Bake in your preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. You want them to be dry and crispy. Keep an eye on them, as oven times may vary.
Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them stand on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes. This allows them to cool slightly before you transfer them.
After cooling, transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is essential to ensure they reach the perfect crunchiness!
Once cooled, serve the Sweet Potato Dog Biscuits to your pup or store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them.
