1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper (makes cleanup so much easier).
2. Mix mashed sweet potato, half the Greek yogurt, egg, and honey until your kitchen smells like healthy comfort food.
3. Gradually add oat flour, stirring until dough forms—should be slightly sticky but rollable.
4. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into shapes (Amber loves bones, but any shape works).
5. Bake 20-25 minutes until firm and lightly golden—start checking at 20 minutes.
6. Cool completely, then frost with remaining Greek yogurt using back of spoon (patience required while dogs stare hopefully).

Notes:

• Always mash sweet potato completely smooth for even dough texture
• Reserve half the Greek yogurt specifically for frosting
• Amber prefers these with a thin, even layer of frosting
• Must be stored in refrigerator due to dairy frosting

Storage Tips:

• Store covered in refrigerator for up to 4 days maximum
• Don’t freeze frosted cookies—the yogurt doesn’t thaw well
• Make unfrosted cookies ahead and frost fresh for best results
• Keep away from heat—yogurt frosting melts quickly

What Makes This Recipe Special:

Sweet potatoes provide prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, while Greek yogurt delivers live probiotics that support digestive health. This combination creates a functional treat that tastes like dessert but actively promotes intestinal wellness—something most commercial dog treats can’t offer.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):

Digestive Boost: Add 1 tbsp pumpkin puree to frosting for extra fiber and digestive support (perfect for 8-year-old pups like Amber)

Spice Version: Include tiny pinch of cinnamon in dough for dogs who love warm, cozy flavors

Training Size: Use mini cookie cutters for bite-sized rewards that fit perfectly in treat pouches
