Our fur babies are our family members too. When was the last time your kids turned down home made cookies... NEVER!
I have made this recipe many times for our boy, Tanner. We were lucky that he didn't have any special dietary needs. But if your fur baby does you can simply modify and substitute those ingredients as needed. It will also give them variety by changing up the ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup organic peanut butter
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 cups whole-wheat flour, plus more for cutting out the cookies
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and milk. Drizzling the milk in slowly will allow you to combine it more efficiently.
- In another large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder and whole-wheat flour.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter-milk mixture. Combine all of the ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
- On a sheet of parchment paper, sprinkle a tiny bit of wheat flour on the surface and roll out the dough to reach your desired dog treat thickness. Using your bone shaped or other fun shaped cookie cutters, cut out dog treats and place them onto a greased cookie sheet or one covered with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Cool and store in an airtight container.
Before making these dog treats, be sure you take your dog’s dietary needs into consideration. Some dogs don’t do well with peanut butter, while some dogs love it. I have used low sodium chicken stock in place of milk and finely minced chicken for peanut butter. As always, put your dog’s best interests first. However, I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like treats you created for them.. They make great gifts tied in baker’s twine or delivered in small jars.
