Family Dog Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
¾ cup of whole-wheat flour
½ cup of unbleached all purpose flour
½ package of unflavored gelatin
½ cup of dry nonfat milk
½ tablespoon of brewer's yeast
1 egg
1 tablespoon of honey
2 tablespoons of canola oil
Half a can of prepared dog food, crumbled
2 tablespoons of chicken broth, or as much as needed
Preparation
- Place the oven rack in the center of the oven and pre heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place 1 slightly greased baking pan on the side.
- Use a large size bowl and a wire whisk to mix the whole-wheat flour, all purpose flour, gelatin, dry milk, and yeast together well.
- In a separate medium size bowl beat the egg until it becomes foamy with an electric mixer on medium speed and then beat in the honey, oil, dog food and broth.
- Next, blend both the dry and wet preparation together with a spoon or use your hand until it becomes a soft dough and starts to pull away from the bowl it is in. If it is too dry add a teensy bit more broth to it at a time.
- Lightly flour a flat surface and turn the dough onto it. Use a rolling pin to roll it out to ½ inch of thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out the cookies shapes (whatever shape your dog likes) and make sure to reuse the scraps as you go. You will notice that the dough will become stiffer as you work it.
- Put the cookies on the set aside prepared baking pan and place them in the oven. Bake for around 20 to 25 minutes or until the cookies have acquired a light golden brown color and look dry. Then remove them from the oven and place the tray over a rack and allow the cookies to cool completely. Turn the oven off.
- Once the cookies have cooled, put them back inside the warm oven in one baking tray and allow them to sit in there undisturbed without opening the oven door for 10 to 15 hours straight.
