Several years ago, I bought a packaged mix to make dog cookies. It contained a bag of dry ingredients to which you added peanut butter, eggs, and water. They were fun to make and the dogs loved them. Of course, the next time I went to buy the mix, it was no longer available. So I spent a few weeks trying other recipes, looking for one to match the one my little pooches liked best. I finally found this one on the King Arthur Flour website. It is so similar that it could have been the inspiration for the mix!

I’ve been baking these dog cookies for every pooch in the family for many years now. They are always a hit. Rosie, our black-and-white cock-a-poo, became obsessed with them and would sit and stare at the top of the refrigerator where the treats were kept. She hoped that if she concentrated long enough one of them would magically make its way down to her.

In My House...
There’s an old expression that says:
“The cobbler’s children have no shoes.”
So do the cookie baker’s dogs have no cookies?
In my house, they definitely do have cookies,
always and always.

 

Cookie specifics

What I’ve learned...

My furry friends love cookies, too! These dog cookies are so easy to make and they are very well-received. Rosie was not very discriminating about food. In fact, nothing was off-limits, and often even the wrapper the food came in was devoured. Lucy isn’t as food-oriented, but she is a big fan of these peanut-butter-and-oat snacks. It was a no-brainer for me to expand my cookie-baking efforts into the world of dog treats. And although they say a dog will eat anything, trust me, some dogs won’t. Several of the store-bought dog treats get a define paws-down from my pooches. They never refuse homemade treats, though. And since peanut butter is a favorite flavor, these are high on their list. I like knowing what’s in the food I feed my canine companions and I love to bake. Why not bake for my four-legged family members?
