Easy Dog Treats

This is a recipe for quick and easy dog treats. Most recipes call for Wheat flour because it's healthier for your pet, however, white flour is still safe for dogs. 
I found this recipe online when searching for easy pet treats!

Dog Treat Recipe

• 1 cup flour + 2 tbsp
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup peanut butter + 2 tbsp 

Preheat the oven at 400* First mix the peanut butter and milk in a bowl with a hand mixer. Once creamy, gradually add in the flour. Once the mixture has formed into a dough, roll it into a ball.

Flour the rolling area and place dough on the flour. Roll out the dough and cut out the cookies with any shape you choose. Unfortunately I did not have a cute dog bone cookie cutter, but the gingerbread man was the perfect size.

Place the cookies onto a cookie sheet, I lightly greased my sheet with shortening to keep them from sticking.The cookies will not spread. Bake for 11 minutes in the oven.

Allow the biscuits to cool completely before giving it to your happy pet. When your dog catches a whiff of the peanut butter, they will go nuts! :)

My dog Indie wouldn't sit still, this was the best photo (that wasn't blurry) that I could get of him eating his tasty cookie!

Chewy Sugar Cookies

Delicious!

My dad asked me to make some sugar cookies and I came across this recipe here.

However, of course, I made my own changes!

My recipe:

The changes I made are underlined to the original recipe.

"Chewy Sugar Cookies"

Yield: about 2.5 dozen

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup Country Crock LIGHT
• 1½ cups granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Extra granulated sugar for rollin

"Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.

In a medium bowl beat together the butter and sugar until light in color and fluffy (about 5 minutes on medium-high speed). Stir in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture stirring until a ball of dough forms.

Form rounded tablespoon-sized balls of dough then roll in sugar. Place 1½ inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until just starting to brown at the edges. Let stand on baking sheet two minutes before removing to cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up a week."

A technique I learned from another blogger is to sort of pinch your dough balls into a tower so that they are more so taller than wider. This helps with the spreading of cookies when they bake.

I also DID NOT use an electric or stand mixer, just a spoon.

This recipe is a good one! I am going to keep it for sure :)

I wanted to make it slightly more healthier by using light margarine than butter.

I also put some white chocolate chips in a few of them and they turned out tasty too!

Happy baking!
