Treats

[HikingDog]

Just noticed this section of the Chat Board and thought I'd share the treat recipe our labs have always loved. Basically, its an unsweetened whole-wheat peanut butter cookie (or can be made as a biscotti -- see below).

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup Peanut Butter
1 egg
¼ cup canola (vegetable) oil
½ cup water
½ tsp salt

Mix into a firm dough, roll out to ½-inch thick and cut out in the size/shape you desire (we typically just slice the dough into ¾-inch squares).

Bake in preheated 350º oven for 15 minutes.

Can be stored in sealed container in refrigerator for several weeks. For longer term storage, I'll let them cool on the cookie sheet for about an hour, then stick them back in the 350º oven for another 5-8 minutes to remove additional moisture in them (making them a biscotti cookie).

Sophie gets these in place of commercial treats such as Milk Bones.
