1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
2. Mix grated carrots with applesauce until well combined and beautifully orange-colored with garden-fresh aroma.
3. Gradually add flour, stirring to form thick dough that holds together without being sticky or dry.
4. Add water little by little if dough seems too dry—perfect consistency rolls smoothly without cracking.
5. Roll out on floured surface and cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters for fun presentation.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until crispy and lightly golden with incredible natural aroma filling kitchen.
7. Always let cool completely before serving—hot treats can burn your pup’s mouth and mask flavors.

Notes:

• Always let cool completely—hot vegetable treats can burn your pup’s mouth
• Amber prefers these when they’re crispy enough for satisfying crunch but not rock-hard
• If dough seems dry, add water gradually; if too wet, add more flour until workable

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks (they maintain crispness beautifully)
• Freeze individual treats for up to 2 months—perfect for preserving fresh vegetable nutrition
• Don’t refrigerate these—they’ll get soggy and lose their perfect crispy texture
