Yum Cookies for Dogs Recipe
Ingredients
4 cups of whole-wheat flour
2 tablespoons of brewer's yeast
½ cup of desiccated bone meal
1 cup of cooked rice
1 cup of beef broth, or as much as needed
1 lb of salt pork, finely chopped and rendered
Preparation
- Place the oven rack in the center of the oven and pre heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place 2 slightly greased baking sheet on the side.
- Use a large bowl and a wire whisk to mix the whole-wheat flour, yeast, and bone meal together.
- In a separate medium size bowl beat the rice, broth and salt pork together with an electric mixer on high speed.
- Form a hole in the middle of the flour mixture and then add in the rice mixture to it.
- 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.
