Snack

Akemi knows a few words like dog park, friend, and sit; however, her favorite words are peanut butter and snack.

Day 088/365

I recently uncovered a recipe for peanut butter dog biscuits sitting in my inbox, dated a couple of years ago. It didn't denote from where the recipe was copied. With my master sleuthing skills (Google), the recipe was likely from The Daily Drool.

Ingredients:
4 c whole wheat flour
2 c oatmeal
1/2 to 3/4 c chunky peanut butter
2-1/2 c hot water

1. Mix all ingredients, adding more hot water if the mixture is too sticky.
2. Knead dough, then roll flat to 1/4" thickness and shape cookies with a cookie cutter.
3. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a cookie sheet.
4. Bake cookies for 40 min.
5. Set baked cookies on a rack to cool and dry for several hours.

This made a heap of doggie dough! After baking two batches, approximately 20 biscuits, Bug had only used up half the mixture, so he threw the unbaked dough out.

Akemi loves these treats! The bones are a little over 5" long, so we have been giving her a third as as a treat, breaking that piece into three pieces so they are bite-sized for her.
