Gingerbread Dog House
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup blackstrap molasses
  • 6 cup unbleached flour
  • 6 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup water
  • 8 ounce low-fat cream cheese
  • 4 ounce natural peanut butter
  • milk-bone treats
  • pup-peroni treats
  • milo’s kitchen treats
Directions
  1. In a saucepan, bring the butter and molasses to boil. Let it cool to room temperature and transfer to a mixer. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Stir flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in large bowl. Add 2 cups of flour to the molasses mixture and mix. Add egg, egg yolk, and remaining flour into the mixture and mix. Add 1 cup of water and mix until dough ball forms. The dough should be sticky. Add water in small amounts (1/4cup-1 cup) if needed. Roll out dough to ¼’’ thick and cut out the walls, roof, and door for your dog house. Bake in a non-stick tray at 325 degrees F for 35-40 minutes.
  3. Blend the low-fat cream cheese and the natural peanut butter for a sticky icing that will keep the gingerbread walls together.
  4. Frame the gingerbread pieces into the shape of a dog house, using the icing to hold the pieces together.
  5. Here’s some of our favorite ways to decorate: Pup-Peroni® treats are perfect for lining the outside walls of your gingerbread dog house. Milo’s Kitchen® make great shingles for a roof. Milk-Bone® treats are the perfect fit for a dog house door and chimney. The hardest part of this DIY will be getting your dog to share his or her tasty treat!
