- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour plus 1 tablespoon for rolling

Preparation
Step 1
I always take pictures of the food I make for the site, but this was a picture I couldn't resist. This was the first time Kenya tried THE Teething Cookie and devoured it. He had so much fun holding it, eating it, sucking on it and rubbing it on his gums. The best part is that there's no sugar in them and they're packed with healthy nutrients. I've been giving him one every night after dinner and it's a great treat before bedtime.
We used these to make this recipe:
(makes 12 cookies)
egg yolk, beaten
whole wheat flour plus 1 tablespoon for rolling
wheat germ
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a Food Processor or bowl put all liquid ingredients. Blend.
Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and then add to wet ingredients. Blend until mixture forms a ball of dough.
Sprinkle whole-wheat flour on a clean surface and shape into a square, about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the logs on a parchment or silpat lined cookie sheet.
These are great. My 8 month-old and my almost 3-year old sonboth love these. They get a little messy, but stationed in the high chair, I can get him cleaned up just fine. These are a great addition to my repertoire, when my baby needs something in his hands before I can get his food all ready to feed him, because I need to set him down.
How much whole wheat flour. It says 3/4 whole wheat flour, so I am assuming cup, right?
These are great, first saw them from Vicki Lansky Feed Me I’m Yours book. I have replaced the soy flour and just used extra wheat germ – love how you changed up the recipe to add molasses!
Hi there!! This is for kirbi! Do you have recipes for treats? My daughter is very very allergic to all wheat rice oats arrowroot tapioca all grains.
I think a much healthier version would be to take out all soy and vegetable oil for starters. And also try to make something without grains using maybe arrowroot, almond flour, coconut flour, or even flax/chia seed meal.
My little guy is allergic to egg and wheat. Any suggestions for substitutes?
I know from making my older child teething cookies that soy flour really maKes the cookIes tough to stand up to baby’s saliva. And the molasses is also a good binder. I will sub the whole wheat flour for rice flour to ensure the cookies are tough enough.
Just wondering if the soy flour is an important addition to the two teething cookie recipes you sent me. Can I just omit it or replace the small amount with regular flour or something else more common?
Your recipe was quick and easy! I didn’t have soy flour or wheat germ so I used Oat Bran, ground flax seeds and some brewers yeast. I also used water instead of rice/soy milk. My little one loves them! I am going to make a batch as giveaways for her 1st birthday. Thank you for sharing.
