Banana Cookies for Pups

Ingredients

2 very ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup water
1 egg, whisked
2 Tbs. molassas
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups whole wheat flour

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients together. The dough will be very stiff and dry. You will probably need to use your hands.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4" thick.
3. With a fork, prick the dough all over with a fork (this keeps the dough from getting too puffy).
4. Using a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife, cut the dough into 1" peices (I like diamond shapes).
5. Put close, but not touching on parchment-covered cookie sheets.
6. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes, until lightly browned.
7. Remove from the oven and cool completely on cookie sheets (while you're waiting and the oven is on, bake some Pumpkin Dog Cookies or Happy Pup Muffins).
8. When the cookies are completely cool, reduce the oven to 300° and bake for another 30 minutes.
9. Remove from oven, and when cool, feed a few to the pups, then store the rest in an airtight container.
