Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup tapioca starch
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 –2 teaspoons plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Small whisk or spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Small spatula (optional, for spreading)
  • Piping bag or plastic zip-top bag (optional, for detailed icing)

Method
 

  1. In a small mixing bowl, add ¼ cup tapioca starch and ¼ cup water. Stir well until a smooth, paste-like consistency forms.
  2. Mix in 1 teaspoon of plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt. If you prefer a creamier or slightly thicker icing, increase to 2 teaspoons. Stir in 1 teaspoon of honey to slightly sweeten and bind the mixture.
  3. Whisk or stir until everything is fully blended and the icing is lump-free. The final texture should be thick but spreadable. If it’s too runny, add a bit more tapioca starch; if it’s too thick, add a drop or two of water.
  4. Use a spatula, spoon, or piping bag to apply the icing onto cooled dog cookies. Let cookies sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the icing sets (usually 20–30 minutes).
