Cookies for your Pooch
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.
