Horses are expensive! This is your sign to make your own horse treats.

We used this recipe for peppermint cookies from our friends at @madbarnequine

  • 12 crushed peppermint discs or 6 candy canes
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1-2 medium apples, cored and finely chopped
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup molasses1 cup water
  • ¼ cup salt

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Place peppermints in a storage bag and crush them using a hammer, rolling pin, or meat tenderizer. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine flour and oats, mixing well. Stir in molasses until well combined.

Gradually add water until the mixture holds together, similar to chocolate chip cookie dough.

Mix in the crushed peppermints and chopped apples until combined.

Drop 1 tbsp balls of dough onto the lined cookie sheet.

Place the cookies in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving or storing.

Film your own taste test and tag us so we can see your horse’s reaction!
