Cookies for your Pooch

Cooking homemade dinners for your family has been a very long tradition, so why not cook for your animal as well? Since the recent food recall scares, I decided to start cooking my dogs meals, and let me tell you she loves it. in the past weeks, I started to look at homemade dog treats as well. I always bought her homemade treats from a local dog bakery, but it can be pricey, so I decided to try baking treats myself. Below is a  recipe for Oatmeal doggy cookies. It comes from www.petcookies.net.

Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked oatmeal1/3 cup margarine1 tablespoon beef bouillon5 1/2 cups hot water3/4 cup powdered milk3/4 cup cornmeal3 cups whole wheat flour1 whole beaten egg 

1 tablespoon garlic powder (optional)

Directions:

Pour hot water over oatmeal, margarine, and bouillon. Let stand for 6 min. 

Stir in milk, cornmeal, and egg. 

Add 1/2 cup flour, at a time and mix well after each addition. 

Knead 3 - 4 minutes, adding more flour if necessary to make a very STIFF dough. 

Roll or pat dough to 1/2″ thickness. 

Cut into dog bone shapes with cookie cutter. 

Bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes on baking parchment.

Allow to cool and dry out until hard.
