Hey everyone! Today I decided to make some dog treats! I was inspired a couple days ago when I was at the store and found a couple dog bone shaped cookie cutters that I just had to buy! The dog treats can be made with any shape of cutter, so don’t worry if you don’t have ones exactly like these.
I personally, do not have a dog. It’s odd that I would decide to make the dog treats, but I know a lot of dogs who would love them! I tried giving one to my cat, but, obviously, that didn’t end up going very well.
The recipe is 4 ingredients and is super easy so I hope you give a try.
You’ll need:
- 2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
- 1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 375′F.
In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix peanut butter and milk, then add to dry ingredients and mix well. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead.
Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Bake for 18-20 minutes on a greased baking sheet until lightly brown. Cool on a rack, then store in an airtight container.
Make sure you keep an eye on them, because they tend to burn easily.
I hope your dog friend enjoys these tasty treats. You could eat them too of course, but I doubt you would want to…
I ended up tasting mine because you know what they say – “Always taste your food before you serve it!”. They weren’t bad, but are definitely something I wouldn’t like to eat on a daily basis.
I’ve been having a crazy obsession with the show Iron Chef America lately, so to sum this all up I will say, allez cuisine!
Linus celebrates his 5th birthday on January 21st!!! I think I see a present in his future
These are adorable! I’m going to make some tomorrow
These are lovely and it`s great that everybody can make a simple dog biscuit for their dog. I started a Dog business some time ago now from my previous career in catering and then developing a bone disease. I became a little concerned about the number of chemicals, colours and sugars in Dog treats (as I have my own dog) as well as the so called 2human grade ingredients”. I have a site I hope you can all visit should you get the chance. Please have a good look around and please leave comments as most people are shy!

Love this recipe!! So easy! I’m definitely going to be making this for my pups!
As a start it`s great but please be aware that not every ingredient suits every dog. It is especially important to be aware of wheat and gluten as a lot of dogs (mine included) have issues with. There is a lot more information on http;//www.thedoggydeli.blogspot.com xx
Thank you for letting everyone know! Definitely keep that in mind!
this made 32 (2inch flower-shaped) treats with this recipe. Maizy turned 1 year today and this was her bday gift! thank you!
Try using another type of flour, like brown rice flour, or oat flour (both made from processing either rice or oats). Both are common ingredients in dog food
First batch came out perfect. Even though I have two dog treat books, my dogs voted this the best one. Thanks for the “Doggie Crack recipe”

, I really like your blog!
made some for Homeward Bound City Pound. They loved ‘em!
Recipe sounds great. However I have a 16 year old yorkie with hardly any teeth. Does anyone know a way to make them softer?
Because there is no eggs they are safe to eat uncooked (thought i’m guessing you want it cooked still), so with a smaller batch then this try cooking them for a little less time, the longer cooking time gives them the desired crunch so less time should yeild a softer outter shell…just a theory.
can you substitute regular white flour for the whole wheat?
Just made some…My pups loved them!!! Thanks. I see us not buying treats for awhile

Absolutely!
Hola
About how many does this make. I would like my after school program to make some for out local shelter and would like to divide the resipe into enough for each kid to make one or two.
It depends on the size of your cookie cutter. It made about 20 for me.
How long will they keep? Do they need to be refrigerated? Thanks!
