You are 6 (healthy) ingredients away from the best dog biscuits your fur-baby will ever taste (trust me, I’ve tasted them)

We have a 5 year old Bernese Mountain dog named Lacey (aka. Lacey-Mae, Lacey-Moo, Miss Lacey, Angel Face, Princess Pea, Moo-Moos, Baby Girl and Barkasaurus Rex).  She’s actually MY dog, that I generously share with the family sometimes and she is spoiled.

So much so, that she now has a discerning palate and snubs her nose to certain dog biscuits.

I was trying to think up small, inexpensive gifts for friends and neighbours and thought perhaps a treat for their babies might be a bit different, but appreciated.

I surfed about a half dozen recipes for homemade dog cookies online and came up with a combination that Pavlov himself would have drooled over.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

Mix first four ingredients together until smooth, then mix in oats and flour until everything is thoroughly incorporated.

Roll out to 1/4″ thick and cut with a pizza wheel or cookie cutter.  Place on a cookie sheet (you don’t need to space them very far apart – they don’t spread)

Bake for 20 minutes or until dog biscuits are hard.

These homemade dog biscuits smell SO good that I couldn’t help but have a tiny taste of the dough – I know, I’m weird – but save for the fact that they aren’t as sweet as human cookies, they were really good.

I packaged up the homemade dog biscuits in little cellophane bags and Miss Lacey and I delivered them to her neighbourhood friends.

I waited a few days to post this recipe/article to make sure that the cookies were a hit with gobblers and finicky eaters alike and that there was no residual “tummy aches” that people had to clean up either in the house or the yard – there really is no reason why there should have been any problems, but I like to make sure before I share things.

I wanted to get a cute photo of Lacey eating her cookies, but she loves them so much that she gobbles them immediately – it was all I could do to get these blurry shots as she was quickly grabbing them. lol

I need a faster camera or a slower dog (or less tasty treats).
