The holiday season is one that is filled with treats for the humans but dogs dont have to be left out of the festivities. There are many dog treat recipes available that can be used to create holiday cookies for your dog. Any dog treat recipes that you find that involve using cookie cutters can be converted to holiday dog treat recipes by using a festive cookie cutter to cut out the shapes. The following is just one of the many dog treat recipes that can be used to create holiday cookies that are sure to delight the dog in your family. 1 cup cornmeal 3 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour 1 tablespoon garlic powder 4 tablespoons instant soup stock mix 4 pieces of bacon cooked and chopped into small pieces 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup peanut butter 1 1/3 cup water Preheat oven to 350 degrees Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl and then add the bacon, vegetable oil and peanut butter. Next add the water a little bit at a time until you achieve the desired consistency. Knead the dough by hand and then roll it onto a floured surface until it is 1/4 inch thick. Next, cut the dough using cookie cutters of the desired shape. Bake for approx 35 - 45 minutes, basting lightly bacon drippings periodically throughout the cooking process. After the 45 minutes turn off the oven and leave the homemade dog treats inside for an additional hour. This will help the treats to harden making them effective for helping to clean your dogs teeth. After removing the treats, allow them to cool adequately before serving them to your dog. |
