K9 Peanut Butter Cookies

Feylan and Charlie LOVE these.

1 cup millk
1 cup natural peanut butter
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder

This dough isn't like other rolling dough , it works if you squish it with your hands and then roll it out. Roll out to about 1/4 in. thick and cut with dogbone cookie cutter. Bake on a greased cookie sheet for 20 min. at 375. Makes about 2 doz. biscuits.
Watch them carefully so they don't burn.

I used soymilk instead of regular milk because that's what I had on hand. Maybe I should check to see if soy is bad for dogs. It didn't seem to affect our puppies. I'll get back to you....

Homemade K9 Biscuits

I made these the other night for Charlie. I think he knew I was making something for him because he laid on the kitchen floor with Jon's dog Feylan (Border Collie). The biscuits were cheap and easy to make. And I like knowing what is in what I'm feeding him.

LEO'S COOKIES (an original recipe from Pilar Passmore)
1/2 brick regular or low-fat cream cheese
2 cups whole-wheat flour
6 ounces carrot baby food
3 ounces olive oil
splash of vanilla

Mix the ingredients; mash, knead and flatten. If you don't have a bone-shaped cookie cutter, use the baby food jar to make round cookies. Place cookies on a baking sheet, and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn off the oven, and leave the cookies inside until the oven cools.
Yield: about 21/2 dozen cookies. A batch generally keeps for about two weeks.
