Recipe of the Month: March 2011

Peanut Butter Dog Treats


Ingredients:
  • 2 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 ¼ cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup milk
Directions: 

Combine flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Combine milk and peanut butter in a separate bowl and mix until smooth. Gradually stir milk/peanut butter mixture into flour bowl. Knead the dough by hand and roll out on a floured surface to desired thickness. Cut out treats with cookie cutters. Place aluminum foil on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes at 400°F. Cool before storing. 

Note: Cooking times may vary depending on thickness.

I love making these treats occasionally for my two Cairn Terriers, Buster & Baxter. I don't normally use aluminum foil on the cookie sheets. I have several cute dog-bone shaped cookie cutters and dog shape cutters. It's really important that they cool all the way before you store them in a closed container or they won't keep well. They have to really dry and cool down, and then they become crunchy! Let me know if you try this recipe for the pooch(es) in your life!!!
