| Yield: | about 42 larger (about 3 1/2") biscuits, 60 smaller (round) biscuits |
Ingredients
- 2 cups King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour or Premium Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 cup rolled oats, regular or quick
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup Baker's Special Dry Milk or nonfat dry milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup peanut butter, crunchy or plain
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon cold water, enough to make a cohesive dough
Directions
1) Preheat the oven to 300°F. Lightly grease a couple of baking sheets, or line them with parchment.
2) Mix together the flour, oats, parsley, dried milk, and salt.
3) Add the eggs and peanut butter, stirring to combine; the mixture will be crumbly.
4) Add enough water to bring the dough together; depending on the season, you may need to add a bit more (winter), or a bit less (summer).
5) To make biscuits using a dog-bone cutter, roll the dough about 1/4" thick, and cut with a 3 1/2" cutter (or the size of your choice). Gather and re-roll the scraps, and continue to cut biscuits until you've used all the dough.
6) To make dog "cookies," drop the dough in walnut-sized balls onto the prepared baking sheets. Flatten them to about 1/4".
7) Bake the biscuits for about 40 to 60 minutes, baking the smaller cookies for a shorter amount of time. When finished, the biscuits will be dark golden brown, and will be dry and crisp all the way through.
8) Remove the biscuits from the oven, and cool right on the pans.
Yield: about 42 larger (3 1/2" dog-bone) biscuits, 60 smaller (round) biscuits.

- Two paws up from my Border Collie and Heeler. Easy to make. Like me, they are also fine with their cookies in dough form, and the chickens loved the scraps I couldn't fit onto the pan!
Hot Diggedy to your Dogs - you're the best dog owner ever! Happy Baking! Irene @ KAF

- I can't say I actually "tasted" these puppy cookies, but based upon the furry ones these were bestowed upon as a Christmas gift, they are an overwhelming ten howl rating. My puppy was my official taste tester and because I wasn't just satisfied with him eating the cookie offered, I then offered up a "cookie" from this recipe and one of his favorite treats......he chose this cookie over his favorite! Now doesn't that say something? I have also been informed that one recipient of the "cookies" now sits in front of them and just moans. How sweet is that? The biscuits are easy to make and roll out. Another awesome recipe from KA!

- I make these for my canine friends. Except for a 5lb Maltese, my other canine friends absolutely LOVE these biscuits! "Willie" found where they were hidden & sat there howling until his owner gave in & gave him another. The others had similar stories. I think it's the generous amount of peanut butter that does the trick. Now I need to store extras in the freezer so I have a treat w/ me when I go visit. They're looking for it!!! And, wow, am I their friend now!

- Easy to make,and our dogs, Henry and Ellie (weimaraner/ spaniel mix), loved them! Henry loves anything peanut butter, and I like knowing good ingredients went into their treats! Couldn't find my dog bone cookie cutter, but used bunny head shape instead! Turned out well! Thanks so much!

- I have lots of doggie friends - and they really love me more than ever now w/ these dog biscuits. I have friends, and friends or parents of friends calling me for this recipe. I'll leave a baggy full w/ my very best friends, who report they find their dog howling, "pointing" to the stash, well aware of where the "hiding place" is for these delicious biscuits. To make it a people food, all you would have to do would be to replace the parsley w/ a bit of sugar. I'm now a hero. And love it.

- I've tried buying cookies from dog bakeries. They always have such cute names, like Snicker Poodles. My dogs just drop them on the floor and give me the poor, abused dog look. I've never made any home made ones before, but decided I would give these a try. One dog checked first to see if I had any steak in my pocket, and then ate them. The others scarfed them up. I gave some to friends to try with their dogs, and got good reviews from them, too. However, my Nigerian dwarf goat, who finished off all the Snicker Poodles, won't eat these. When I made my first batch, I misread my notes and used 3 eggs instead of 2. They came out well that way, so I usually add in the extra egg. The dough is pretty stiff; I find it easier to use my dough hooks than to stir by hand. Although they take a long time to bake, they don't spread, so you can really pack them on a cookie sheet and get them all done at once.
