Puppies in the kitchen

My Doodle has always loved to hang out in the kitchen.  As a puppy, she would try to look up at the counter to see what I was cooking with love in her eyes and hope in her heart the fabulous meal was for her!
We recently had the joy of puppy sitting for Auntie Mad.  While it was an instant flashback to our doodle’s antics as a pup, I saw the same look of hope for a special treat.  It also reminded me of my puppy treat recipe for my old Weimaraner who loved treats for the fluffer’s next visit.

It seems the list of things dogs can’t eat has gotten longer over the years.  So, to all the dog lovers, here is a fun recipe to treat your special pup…dog or hydrant shaped cookie cutter not included.
 
Dog Treats
Makes approximately 35-40 treats

Ingredients:
2 cups   Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup     Rolled Oats
½ cup    Peanut Butter
½ cup    Honey
½ cup    Olive Oil
½ cup    Water
4 tbsp.  Brown Sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. 
2. Mix all items together.  I used my Kitchen Aid to ease the mixing process. 
3. Roll out the dough and cut with your favorite cookie cutter.  Place treats on ungreased cookie sheets.
4. ​Bake the treats for ten minutes then flip them.  The cookies should finish in approximately 10 – 15 minutes for a total of 20-25 minutes.
