Gourmet Dog Cookies

Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 3/4 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup powdered milk (i've used milk in it's place and reduced the water when i don't have dry milk)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 egg, beaten
• 5 tablespoons olive oil (if you want a really healthy cookie, substitute udo's choice oil blend with omegas 3, 6, 9 and esf's)
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup beef, pureed. (i have combined meats, as well.)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven (see choices below).
• 2 in large bowl, mix all ingredients together. the dough will be thick and possibly sticky.
• 3 knead on floured surface. if really sticky, add a bit of flour as you knead until dough does not stick to hands or board.
• 4 roll out to about 3/4" thick.
• 5 cut into squares or use a simple cookie cutter. yield depends on size of cookie.
• 6 bake on lightly sprayed sheet according to following directions. you may line sheet with tin foil to make clean up easier.
• 7 i have baked these two different ways. one is at 350 f for 22 minutes, but i recommend this way only if you will use the cookies rather quickly. the other is to use a convected oven set at about 200 f and "dehydrate" the cookies until they are hard and crunchy. (they don't "give" when you push on the centers.) this will prevent spoiling if stored for awhile.
• 8 let cool.
• 9 store in a sealed container with moisture-reduction baggies such as those that come in shoe boxes, etc.
