Peanut Butter Goodness Dog Treats
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups white flour
1/2 cup peanut butter (all-natural or organic)
1 cup water
2 tablespoons oil
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine oil, peanut butter and water. Add flour, one cup at a time, forming a dough. Knead dough into firm ball and roll to 1/4 inch thickness.

Cut into 3 to 4 inch pieces. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes. Makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

I'm jazzed! I have all of these ingredients, so I'm going to make these today! How long do these keep, Sassy? (To give as gifts next week....)

I used to make them in bone shapes and give them out as treats for my doggie friends.. .. Sometimes I use more PB and all whole wheat flour.. add vanilla.. whatever.. just like cookies for people just no butter or sugar!

All I can say is......

Lucy Tested.

Lucy Approved.

I used crunchy PB, but followed the recipe. This recipe made 40 2 1/2" 'bone'-shapped cookies....yeah, I just happened to have bone-shaped cookie cutters lyin' around...

It's an easy knead ~ not a lot of energy taken there. Maybe turn it over 10-15 times. Roll~out's a cinch. I just used parchment paper. Cooled on a rack about 10-15 minutes then put them in a zip~lock bag.

And Lucy does love them. They will be given at Christmas. I guess NOW she's gonna want her own apron.

Sachita -

My gf made my dog doggie cupcakes on his birthday. She found the recipe (and lots others) on the internet. I only give my dog all natural stuff, and of course I would prefer to give him a cupcake/cookie that is made for dogs (that humans can eat too...it was pretty bland, but the dog was good with it!)

Here's a pretty good site for some pup recipes..
http://www.dogtreatkitchen.com/peanu...it-recipe.html

I have always heard that dogs cannot digest bread... I'm not sure if it is because of gluten or flour itself or what.

In the past, I have given the dogs more dehydrated treats.. like bean chips, etc. or sweet potato mashed into a yummy flavor and dehydrated them. I would make a "spread", and spread it out on layers in the dehydrator. I started doing this when I used to backpack a lot, as it was better and easier to pack loads of dehydrated healthy food than heavier stuff. They seem to like the crunchy bits and I could eliminate the flour etc that may disagree with them. I haven't had time to do good stuff for myself lately, much less the pups.

Some great ideas here! Thank you for the thread Sachita!!!
