Peanut Butter Dog Treats

We have two fantastic dogs - Cooper and Holiday - and they are a huge part of our family. A couple of the guys that came out to help with the patio also have dogs so I decided in addition to the cupcakes I would also make some dog treats for them to take home. All the dogs loved them. I also sent some to work with the fiancee and their dogs loved the treats too! This is a super easy, cheap alternative to the store bought treats.


Here's a picture of the pups - Cooper is the bigger Australian Shepherd and Holiday is the little Schipperke. This is one of the best picture of them - we were at the beach up in Door County, WI.




















Peanut Butter Dog Treats:
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (I got mine at Whole Foods)
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cup natural, organic peanut butter
  • 1 cup milk (I used 2%)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees .

Mix flour and baking powder in a large bowl or mixer. Whick together milk and peanut butter in a seperate bowl (I found that putting the milk in the measuring cup first helped keep the PB from sticking to the cup). Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and combine until fully mixed. Roll out dough on a floured surface to desired thickness. Use any kind of cookie cutter you want to punch out treats. Put treats on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes.



CHEERS!
