Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Treats

My friends.  Or at least, my friends with dogs?

I am pretty excited about these little doggy treats I made for my furbaby Charlie.  They turned out great... and all that matters is that my lil guy loved them!

On my latest trip to Michaels, I spotted these cute cookie cutters by Wilton.  Michaels is always running some great coupons, so just grab them on your smartphone and show it at the register!



The recipe couldn't have been easier.  I read through the comments on the blog post I got it from, and decided not to mix in the egg to the mixture.  The dough is already pretty sticky, so I didn't want to make it worse.  I used the egg as a wash instead and it worked out perfectly.  It's nice to have that "sheen" on the cookies!

These are the ingredients- seriously, that's it.


I guess there is one more ingredient not in the picture- water. The recipe calls for milk or water. The main reason being I didn't have milk in my refrigerator (just vanilla flavored almond milk!)... but the truth is, even if I had it, I'd probably pick water because I try not avoid feeding Charlie dairy.  He has what we might call a sensitive tummy. :)

The bone cookie cutter is so cute, but a bit big, so I also decided to use some mini heart and star cookie cutters I bought from the dollar store.



As you can see, Charlie couldn't wait for the cookies to finish baking.


The finished product. Ta da! Soft, chewy, and delicious.


I made some goody bags for our neighbors and friends with pups.  It's definitely a recipe I'll keep in the baking arsenal for many future uses.  I already envision holiday gifts for Charlie's furry friends.
