Wasn't sure where to post this………..buy they are my "farm animals", ok, they're my kids, but they love their cookies too!!
¾ cup non-fat Milk (-OR- omit egg and increase milk to 1 cup) 1 Egg (see above) 1 cup Peanut Butter (chunky or smooth) 1 cup Brown Rice Flour 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups Oat Flour (or blender-ize some oatmeal to make a coarse flour), or Whole Wheat Flour 1 tablespoon Baking Powder (Rumford — it’s aluminum free)
Mix the peanut butter, egg, and milk together with a whisk (or in a blender), then add flour and baking powder to make a stiff dough. You’ll want the dough fairly stiff; adjust quantity of flour if needed. You may have to use your hands to work in the last of the flour. (I used my stand mixer with dough hooks for this, worked great!)
Roll out (or press with your hands) on well-floured surface, about ¼-inch thick. Cut into desired sizes with a cookie cutter or plastic knife and lift onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes, then turn and bake another 15-20 minutes or until done. Cool completely and store in an airtight container or zip top bag. Homemade dog treats can be kept in the freezer to extend freshness. I only baked 15 minutes first, then 10, they were pretty crunchy.

If tomatoes are a fruit, then isn’t ketchup technically a
smoothie?

I think that I would make them using a chicken leg to make some stock and use the meat in place of the bacon bits and there would be enough fat from the meat that you wouldn't need the oil.

Ross, I would do the same, to much sodium isn't good for the dogs and the bullion is loaded with it. Good use of leftovers.

Here is a recipe for a special dog treat. My dogs love liver but you could use any meat available.
I found this recipe on the following site. http://www.dogaware.com/diet/t…..html#liver
Hugs Cheryl 
Liver Bread
1 lb of any kind of liver, pureed
1 cup of any kind of flour
1 cup of corn meal
2 Tbsp of Garlic powder (amount optional)
1 Tbsp of oil
Puree the liver and mix in the other ingredients. Spread on a cookie sheet or jellyroll pan (I line a pan with foil and oil it). Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. Cool and break in pieces. Freezes well.

I have made the milk bone ones, some peanut butter ones and some of my own creation that involved giblets and whole wheat flour. The dog liked the milk bone ones and giblet ones but did not really enjoy the softer peanut butter ones.

For softer cookies I put them back in the oven at a low temp and bake them until they are hard/crisp.
My boys like crunchier cookies.

I don't bake any dog treats, but I do make my chicken stock in the pressure cooker. When I get done, the bones are soft enough crush with my fingers, and my dogs LOVE the stuff that is leftover. Onions are bad for dogs, so leave them out, but carrots and celery are ok. Don't give too much all at once–there might be digestive consequences. Go ahead, ask me how I know.
I suppose if I wanted to, I could mix the stock leftovers with some ww flour and eggs, make a dough and bake it. I am lazy, so I freeze it in a ziplock, patting it out into a thin layer, and I break a frozen chunk off for them.

I just haven't been the same since that house fell on my sister.

For christmas gifts this year I made Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog cookies. I rolled the dough out and used christmas cookie cutters. After baking I bagged them in treat bags and gave them as christmas gifts to my coworkers that have dogs. Big hit! And I loved doing something special for their pets. The feedback was that the cookies were delish.

Michigan Tina,
You will cut costs but will also be feeding your dogs a heathier treat in most cases. You can make them any size you want and stretch a bit further too.

Size does matter…lol…in dog cookies. That is a good idea. Use a small cookie cutter or cut them into bite size pieces….Thanks

Your welcome. We have 4 dogs at home so it can get quite expensive buying treats. I love experimenting with new recipes for them. They always seem to know when I'm baking for them
