Peanut Butter Dog Treats




Source of Recipe





Recipe Introduction


Since these treats are preservative-free, they do have a limited shelf life. To extend the life of your treats and to avoid spoiling, place a small quantity of the homemade dog biscuits (about a dozen at a time) in a Tupperware container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

The remaining treats can be placed in freezer bags and stored in the freezer for an indefinite period of time. A dozen treats at a time can be removed, thawed and then stored in the refrigerator.


List of Ingredients




The Dry Ingredients
3 cups of whole wheat flour
1/2 cup of cornmeal
1/2 cup of rolled oats
All-purpose flour for kneading

The Wet Ingredients
1 1/2 cups of water
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
3 medium or large eggs
3 teaspoons of vanilla
5 tablespoons of peanut butter
2 cube of chicken or beef bullion

Recipe



Begin by preheating the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Next, measure out and combine all of the wet ingredients into a medium mixing bowl, with the exception of the bullion cubes. Use a fork or whisk to thoroughly mix all of the wet ingredients.

Crumble two cubes of beef or chicken bullion into the bowl of wet ingredients. Use a fork or whisk to stir the contents of the bowl until the bullion has completely dissolved.

Measure out and combine all of the dry ingredients in an extra large mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix the dry ingredients.

Pour the wet ingredients into the extra large bowl containing the dry ingredients. Use a mixer or your hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly into a wet dough.
Remove about one-third of the dough at a time and place it on a well-floured surface. Knead the dough, adding 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour at a time. Continue to add flour and knead until the dough is moderately firm and of a consistency that will retain its shape when cut into individual treats.

Once the dough is of the desired consistency, use a rolling pin to flatten out the dough to a uniform thickness of 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch.

Use a cookie cutter or rolling pizza cutter to divide the dough into treat-sized pieces. Larger treats are more suitable for a large breed dog, while smaller treats are ideal for a small breed dog or for when the treats are going to be used as healthy rewards during the dog training process.

Place the treats on a large un-greased cookie sheet, spaced about 1/2 inch apart.
Place the cookie sheets in the oven, preheated to 375 degrees.

Bake the dog treats for 18 to 23 minutes, or until the treats take on a golden brown appearance. Allow the treats to cool and then serve!
