This dog cookies recipe was given to me by my elderly neighbour — our dogs have managed to convince her that we don’t feed them anything tasty (not true!) and love to beg her for these home-made dog treats!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plus 1 Tbsp water
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1-1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
Whisk together the first four ingredients. Stir in flour and cornmeal until well mixed. Knead until the dough holds together, then transfer to a lightly floured surface.
Roll out dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Poke holes all over the dough with a fork and cut into pieces of the desired size — use a bone-shaped cookie cutter, if you have one!
Place on a baking sheet about 1/2 inch apart and bake at 350°F for 18 – 20 minutes, until firm. Put the pan on a rack and let the dog cookies cool completely. Reduce the oven heat to 300°F and bake for 20 minutes longer, until hard. Cool, then store in a tightly sealed container.
I’m told that they will keep for about 30 days, but our dogs seem to gobble up their special treats much more quickly than that!
