Our precious 4-legged family member Molly (short for Mollify the Wife), turned 9 this week, and to celebrate, we made her doggie biscuits from scratch, using an easy recipe I found on Sugar Law’s blog, for Peanut Butter Dog Treats. The recipe was simple and the results fantastic – Molly was thrilled with the end product and would have eaten the entire batch if we let her!
Peanut Butter Dog Treats
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup skim milk
Preheat oven to 375F. Mix the dry ingredients together in a stand mixer. Whisk the peanut butter and skim milk together until well blended. Add to the dry ingredients and mix for 2 minutes, until well incorporated. Turn out dough onto well floured countertop and using a rolling pin, roll to a thickness of 1/4″. Cut out with cookie cutters (I used dog bone cutters, Sugar Law used flower and heart shapes). Bake 20 minutes until lightly browned.

I love oatmeal cookies. This gets me to the finished cookie faster.

it was tricky – that was one of 15 photos I took, in rapid succession, to get the one! She inhaled those cookies, it was a great recipe and I am sure if she could talk, she would ask for more!
