Homemade Dog Treats

On the morning before my couch was delivered I knew I had to hang around the house and I was a little at lost ends so I decided to use my time to bake up some dog treats. I really love to bake but sometimes it is nice to be able to cook for someone else. I saw this originally on pinterest but since I wasn't sure that Lily would like them I halved the batch and have more than enough treats for a while.

Since these are such a hit at my house I am thinking of including these in my christmas gifts to friends and family that have dogs. I always love it when someone includes Lily, to me it means that they do love me and understand that my dog is part of my life. This does mean that if you get baked goods from me check to see if they are for you or for your dog.

Peanut Butter Dog Treats

Ingredients

1 c flour
1/2 c milk
1/2 c peanut butter
1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions
1- Mix the dry ingredients
2- Whisk the milk and peanut butter together... this takes a moment to start working but in the end it looks like really soupy peanut butter
3- Add the dry to the wet
4- Knead a few times on a floured surface, just until it isn't sticky
5- Roll out to 1/4" thick (I liked mine just a little thicker) and cut out cute shapes
6- Put cookies on a parchment lined cookie sheet, bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes. The large variation in the cooking time depends on the shape and size of the cookies
7- Cool on cookie racks
8- Feed them to your pup

She is thinking... give it to me

I think Lily really enjoyed these cookies, check out her cookie eating face. I really enjoyed making these for her it was relaxing to be able to bake. There are some moments when I really think that for my next career (many years from now) I would like to have a bakery. Or perhaps this is for the time when I get to work for pleasure and not to pay the bills.

She loves these treats

Let me know if you try these, I shared them with some dog owners at work who mentioned that their pups also loved their treats.
