Canine Carrot Cookies

Makes: 3 dozen
Ingredients:

* 2 cups carrots -- boiled and pureed
* 2 eggs
* 2 tablespoons garlic -- minced
* 2 cups unbleached flour -- *see Note
* 1 cup rolled oats
* 1/4 cup wheat germ
* *or rice flour or rye flour.

Preparation & Cooking

Combine carrots, eggs and garlic. Mix until smooth. Add dry ingredients. Roll out on heavily floured surface and cut into bars or desired shapes. Bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes or to desired crunchiness. The centers will continue to harden as they cool. I like to put them in a food dehydrator until they are dry and hard which my dogs love.

I used to make dog cookies for my fur kids many years ago. But I lost my recipe when we moved from California. So I'm going to give these a try.

Kim, I adore the pic of Taz snoozing. Too cute!

that was on our trip, he slept on the cooler the whole time..lol

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 20 minutes on a greased baking sheet until lightly brown. Cool on a rack, then store in an airtight container. --- This is the original recipe, but I have found the cookies burn easily.
