Place all ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix the ingredients together to form the dough.
Place the dough on parchment paper.
Roll out the dough until it is ½ inch thick.
Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter.
Place the cutouts on a greased or parchment paper-lined baking tray.
Gather the dough scraps, re-roll, and cut until there is none left.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove the treats from oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
Icing
Prepare your desired coloring liquids according to the package instructions.
To make black icing, combine 2 teaspoons of activated charcoal powder with 1 tablespoon of hot water.
Place honey, 2 teaspoons of coloring liquid, and 2 tablespoons of thickener (either cornstarch, arrowroot powder, OR tapioca starch) in a small bowl.
Stir until well combined and smooth. You may need to add another tablespoon of the thickener to the mixture to get the texture you need.
Use a spoon to drizzle the icing over the treats.
Notes
I used Supernatural Plant-Based Food Colors for purple, orange, and green colors. I used Activated Charcoal to make black icing.If you use regular food color drops or gel, you’ll need to mix it with water so you’ll have 2 teaspoons of coloring liquid.I used pumpkin-shaped and medium-sized bone-shaped cookie cutters. I got 8 pumpkin and 18 bone treats from the dough. The number can vary depending on the cookie cutters you use.Do not use peanut butter that contains xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is toxic to dogs.
