Cookies are a cornerstone of the holiday season, bringing loved ones together to make and share memories – but one family member is often left out of the celebration. Let your pup in on the fun with festive red and green biscuits. The dough is naturally dyed with beet powder and chlorophyll to create the classic color pairing, and each cookie has a “snowy” coconut coating that’s guaranteed to add even more cheer to treat time. We think your loyal companion is going to like this new howliday tradition.

**For a darker green, add a third capsule
Tips
For marbled treats: separate dough into small chunks. Press pieces together into a ball and roll out as directed above. Since repeated rolling and reforming can muddy marbling effect, keep some solid-color dough aside to add back in on a later re-roll.
Shelf-life & Storage
Crunchy: Keep stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Treats will last 4 to 6 weeks. Refrigerate for longer shelf-life.
Soft: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freeze up to 3 months. If your pooch doesn’t have teeth issues, there’s no reason you can’t give them a frozen treat.
