Is your baby cutting teeth and in the need for something special to chew on? These Teething Cookies are a breeze to make and a delicious treat your baby will love!
Kenya had so much fun with THE Teething Cookie: 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.Getting to watch Chloe and Gemma enjoying the same homemade teething cookies when they were new eaters gave me the same thrill.

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.
THE Teething Cookie
Ingredients
- 1 egg yolk, beaten
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon rice/soy milk
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour plus 1 tablespoon for rolling
- 1 tablespoon soy flour
- 1 tablespoon wheat germ
Instructions
- 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.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Cool on the sheet or tranfer to a wire rack.

Notes
- *I wouldn’t start giving these to a baby under the age of 8 months. You always need to be around when baby is eating something they could choke on.

I made these for my niece and would love to share the nutritional data with her moms-has it ever been posted?
You can replace it with just about any flour. I added the soy flour for the boost of nutrition, but if you can’t find it, you can leave it out. 🙂 Quinoa flour would probably have the most nutrition. I haven’t tried it in this recipe, but let me know if you do and how it turns out!
My baby is old enough for teething cookies and I’m looking forward to making these for her. I’m having a hard time finding the soy flour here in the northeast is there something I can use in place of it? All purpose? Quino flour? I look forward to hearing back from you.
Great substitutions and glad to hear they came out great!
I used honey instead of molasses (for my 1 year old) coconut flour instead of soy, and almond milk and they came out great! I might eat the whole tray before she wakes up from her nap 😀
These eventually turned out good, but I cannot get it to stick together and form a ball in my food processor.
I eventually added a little extra molasses and squished it together by hand, but it was a pain and the dough didn’t turn out very uniform.
What am I doing wrong??
these are great! can i freeze them?
Due to allergies, my baby can’t have whole wheat flour, soy flour or wheat germ 🙁 Can I substitute other flours for this recipe! I would love to make this for my baby…but I can’t 🙁
