Christmas Dog Biscuits
As you know, we make our own dog food, so it only makes sense to make our own dog biscuits. After making and letting the dogs try out a few different recipes I decided on the following recipe, which the dogs lovingly know as “crunchies”. The recipe is adapted from Bullwrinkle’s Peanut Butter Puppy Popper recipe and has the fewest ingredients of all the dog biscuit recipes I’ve seen.
To make the treats extra special for Christmas, I added in carob chips, just as you would for chocolate chip cookies. Although they look like chocolate chips, they aren’t. They taste like bitter cocoa, but they aren’t poisonous to dogs and they enjoy them. Carob chips also do not melt on their own very well. I wanted to make the treats last Christmas but dunk them in melted carob. I had to add a lot of milk to the chips.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cups milk
- 1 cups peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Optional: carob chips
Instructions:
Mix everything together – this is easiest with a stand mixer as the dough gets very thick.
Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness and use a cookie cutter (I used a stocking shape, I’ve also used star, candy cane, and egg shapes)
Bake on a greased pan for 20 minutes at 375 degrees-F (or until lightly brown)
Cool and store in an airtight container. These also freeze well.
