Most of you know that I love to bake just about anything. Cakes, cookies, brownies, biscuits…it really doesn’t matter since it is all good in my book. C & I try not to give our Siberian Husky, Ellie, table food so she won’t beg, but one of her favorite bedtime treats is peanut butter spread on a Kong toy. She loves it!!
I discovered this baked peanut butter dog treat at Brown Eyed Baker and decided to try it. Ellie loves dog biscuits and peanut butter and I love to bake, so why not combine the three? I call these Peanut Butter Dog Cookies. Ellie is licking her lips in anticipation already.
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 cup organic peanut butter
1 cup low fat milk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the flour and baking powder in a large mixing bowl and set aside. Combine the milk and peanut butter, then pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture. Mix well.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until thoroughly combined. Roll out to a quarter inch thickness and cut out shapes. I didn’t have a bone cookie cutter, so I just used a round biscuit cutter. I may have to purchase a bone shaped one though because it would be really cute. Bake each batch for 20 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool completely then store at room temperature.
Ellie loves them and so does my in-laws’ Border Collie, Roy. They were a huge hit!
