Let’s get baking

Let’s get baking

Bake for 18-22 minutes. Cookies will still be soft. Immediately after baking, use a few Dessert Jacs® treats to finish decorating your cookies. Have fun and be creative!

  • Pumpkin or jack-o’-lantern: create a face on the cookie by inserting Dessert Jacs. Add one Dessert Jacs on the top for a stem.
  • Cat: place Dessert Jacs accordingly for the eyes and nose
  • Bat: use Dessert Jacs for ears and eyes

Move cookies to a rack and let cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to a week or freeze up to three months. Just thaw and serve.

Treat your dog to one cookie per day. Estimated 50-70 calories per cookie, depending on size and number of treats used. Since the cookie is a chewy texture, break up the cookie and give it to your dog in smaller pieces. Intended as a treat, not food.
