Beefy Sweet Potato Animal Crackers

Animal Cwackas in my soup

I have these Wilton Mini Noah's Ark cookie cutters that I absolutely love. What's not to love about mini things?

You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals so let's do it like they do it on discovery channel. [Insert disc scratch] It just got pg-13 in here. These animal crackers are doggy style so you can already expect it to get hot in here. Cue Nelly but dogs don't have clothes to take off (generally) and are always strutting in their birthday suit anyway. 

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 C. of whole wheat flour (regular or white)
• 3 tbsp. of olive oil
• 1 egg
• 1 jar of beef and gravy baby food
• 1 jar of sweet potato baby food
• 1/4 C. skim milk
• 1/4 C. water

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven 350 degrees.

2. Mix flour, egg, olive oil, baby food, skim milk, and water together. Dough should be stiff.

3. Roll the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick roll. Using mini animal cookie cutters, cut into 1/2-inch pieces.

4. Bake for 20 minutes.

STORAGE:

Store in an airtight container once on counter after thoroughly cooled for up to 2 weeks . Waiting until cooled is an important step; condensation can build and the moisture will cause treats to mold.

For longer shelf life: store in fridge for up to 2 months. Store in freezer for up to 8 months.
Tip: Write date on plastic bag to keep track of expiration date.
