Dog Treats...

Ok... these are a HUGE hit! I had no idea when I mixed up my first batch that they would be such a success. And I was experimenting today with personalized bones... worked out great! Much better than I expected.

The pile of dough does not look very appetizing at all... but I'm not a dog, so what do I know?

Bones and hearts

Ready to be baked

All Done!I probably should have taken this pics before they were bagged... Dogs names are Bocci,
Cookie, and Soco and they are all very loyal customers!

For the names, what I did was gently press letter cookie cutters into the dough to make impressions before they were baked. I also did little hearts with initials.

Doggie Treats!!!

Ok, so I was getting ready to get my bake on yesterday and I started thinking about how many people passed by the "Flea By The Sea" with their furry little friends. So I decided to bake up a batch of doggie treats!

Sorry for such a bad cell phone picture!
This was the first batch that came out of the oven.

I found this recipe:

Peanut Butter Dog Treats
Adapted from Brown Eyed Baker

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 cup peanut butter *I used natural peanut butter, which is very dry*
1 cup skim milk

**I had to add an egg to hold everything together since the peanut butter was so dry.

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix peanut butter and milk. Add wet mixture to dry, and mix well.

Turn out dough on a lightly floured surface and knead. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness and cut out shapes. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake 20 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool on a rack and store in an airtight container.

Makes about 20-30 dog biscuits.

In addition to the doggie treats I also baked up chocolate chip cookies, brownies, chocolate cupcakes and margarita cupcakes. Today I will be making golden cupcakes and red velvet, plus whipping up the frostings! I can't wait 'till Saturday's "Flea By The Sea"!
