Doggie Cookies
1 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup margarine or butter
1 cup boiling beef broth
3/4 cup cornmeal
2 tsp. white sugar
2 tsp. beef bouillon granules
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg, beaten (or 2 to make treats softer for older dogs)
3 cups whole wheat flour
Combine oats and margarine/butter, and boiling beef broth in a large bowl. Let stand and soften for 10 minutes. Thoroughly stir in cornmeal, sugar, bouillon, milk, peanut butter and eggs. Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough comes together. You can roll this out and cut with a cookie cutter or you can do as I did and roll into 1" balls and press flat. Place on a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 30-35 minutes. Makes 60 cookies.
I've been giving my dog what is supposed to be one of the best doggie treats on the market. I especially liked giving him the 'chicken jerky' treat this company made. Then I received an email that even though the company is American the chicken comes from China and several thousand dogs have become sick and some even died. I threw them away and went searching for some homegrown, natural treats. I found some but their prices were a bit pricey. I found the recipe above and decided to try making my own, hoping Jesse would like them. He, as well as 5 of his friends LOVE them! And they aren't that expensive to make. Don't have the whole wheat flour and rolled oats? Do like I did and hit the health food store where you can buy as much or as little as you want.
