Gingerbread treats are a simple and easy way to show your pets you care.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 24 small treats

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together molasses, water, and oil. Using a wooden spoon, slowly mix liquid ingredients into the flour mixture, stirring until well-combined and mostly uniform in color (some times I work the dough a little by hand to make sure all streaks of flour are mixed in).
4. Roll dough out to 1/4-inch thick and cut out shapes, gathering dough and re-rolling as necessary. Bake for 20 minutes and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet.
