I know you guys are wondering, “What the heck? This girl uses butter, sugar, bacon, and flour in amounts so obscene she needs massive glass jars just to hold it all! What’s not to like?”
Like I said, I know. It felt weird for me to bake cookies that I would never eat. Cookies with lots of beef broth and cornmeal. Cookies with yeast thrown in the mix. It was weird. But I did it.
I did it for love.
See? After seeing that recipe aren’t you GLAD that I warned you ahead of time? 🙂
So, getting down to business here, dog biscuits are super easy to make using this recipe. Mix all the dry ingredients then pour in the broth. Voila! Doneskies!
Well, that is unless you live at a high altitude…then you have to add some extra flour to the mix to make it roll-able. Otherwise you should be good to go! Just ignore your dogs hanging out in the kitchen, drooling all over your legs. You can always shower, and you’re doing it for love.
Right?
Right.
The recipe came with a really cute cookie cutter set that I got for Christmas, but you could certainly just roll the dough out and cut it into squares if you don’t have a cookie cutter. I promise your dogs (or your neighbor’s dogs or whoever’s dogs you’re baking these for) won’t care what shape they’re in as long as they can eat them.
And eat them they will!
Just ask the critics! Don’t these faces look like they know a thing or two about dog biscuits?
Don’t let them fool you…they’re connoisseurs!
And that whole drooling-on-my-leg thing? Yep, didn’t make that one up. But that’s how you know it’s good 😉

Oh my gracious, I think this is one I need to try. Oreo has never had anything homemade from the kitchen before and this recipe seems super simple! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Somehow, I knew those wouldn’t just get tossed in a drawer and never used! So glad you/they liked them! (You=the cookie cutters and recipe; the pups=the treats!) Have a great weekend! Hugs!!!!!

Lisa @ Thrive Style says

janetha says
you are such a good momma.
Mauimandy@The Grains of Paradise says

Heidi says
I love making homemade dog biscuits for my dog, Winston! Over the Christmas holiday I made some peanut butter flavored ones and he loves them! I’ll definitely try your recipe.
Heather says
ooooh, what’s that recipe? we could save a ton of money making our own doggy treats!
Shanna, like Banana says
What a good dog mommy you are!
My dog would go nuts for these I’m sure =)
steph says
Let’s be real – did you try one?? I have a friend that has no shame in admitting she has tried a dog treat of two and I always just laugh. Cool idea though!
My beast has a sensitive stomach so there’s not a lot I can give him, but show him a Greenie and he’ll do tricks in hyper speed without any commands (shake, shake, lay down, roll over, sit back up and puppy eyes).
Heather says
ha! no i did not…but i have tried other treats of theirs before 😉
Dorry says
You are the best mama to those pups! Lucky dogs. 🙂
Happy Friday!
Natalie says
ooooooh my dane willlllll love this… she always tries to put her head in the oven when i open it and help herself to anything left within reach on the counter if we’re not looking…. now something that I bake that she’ll be allowed to eat! yay!!!
Heather says
yikes! my dog did that once, burned her mouth, and stays away now 🙂
Rebekah says
We have 5 rescue dogs – I have been wanting to make them some homemade goodies – these look perfect and I can look forward to the leg drool and happy munching that will follow! 🙂
Heather says
i’m sure they already do, but they will love you forever!
Marg says
I love that you made your dogs doggie biscuits! I never knew what went in them.
Heather says
i have another recipe for a yam dog biscuit…apparently those are pretty good too…but when it comes down to it anytime i feed my dogs they’re stoked anyway 😉
Salah says
hahaha omg that picture of bunker is too freakin cute!!!1 Keira looked adorable as well, but bunker, you just won my heart over…again 🙂
Heather says
he is such a mess…he started drooling at the toy!
Kate D. says
Bunker is heartbreakingly cute with his toy! My pup loves to bring her “baby” to bed with her. And she will LOVE these cookies! Thank you, thank you!
Heather says
Of course! granted it’s not my recipe, but it’s a great one to share with our furbabies 😉

Jessica @ How Sweet says
I’d be afraid that I’d accidentally eat a dog biscuit. How sad is that?
Heather says
hahaha…i love ya, but that might be kinda weird 😉
