Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup water

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, grated carrots, chopped parsley, vegetable oil, eggs, and water. Mix well until a dough forms.
  3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  4. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough. Alternatively, you can use a knife to cut the dough into bite-sized squares or rectangles.
  5. Place the shaped treats on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each treat.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the treats are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the treats cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Once cooled, store the treats in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to a week or stored in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
