Beefy Bark Bites

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon wheat germ
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
1/4 cup softened margarine
1/4 cup bacon bits (you can use the jar kind sold in the grocery aisle where they sell salad dressings)
1 egg
1/2 cup ice water
2 tablespoons cold milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, powdered milk, wheat germ, and beef bouillon granules. Then stir in egg and softened margarine. Then stir in bacon bits. Then, a little at a time, stir in first the cold ice water and then the cold milk, so the dough becomes sticky. You can then drop the dough by the tablespoon full on an ungreased baking sheet to make dog cookies, or else if you prefer to make cute shapes, you can roll the dough out on a lightly floured board and use a simple shaped cookie cutter to make cookie shapes. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees, then remove from oven and let cool before serving to your dog. You can wrap the cookies in plastic food storage bags and refrigerate until ready to use.

Yum Yum Butter Bones

Ingredients:

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted natural peanut butter
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup applesauce (unsweetened, natural)
1 teaspoon honey

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder and milk. Stir in natural peanut butter, applesauce and honey. Blend thoroughly, so that ingredients are evenly distributed throughout. With hands, knead the dough until it forms into one big ball. Then wash and dry your hands and grease a couple of cookie sheets. Take the dough and roll into little balls and flatten between your hands and drop onto the cookie sheets spaced about an inch or so apart. Bake for 25 minutes in oven until firm or lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool before serving. You can wrap the cookies in plastic food storage bags and refrigerate until ready to use.

Hammy Whammy Treats

Ingredients:

1cup wheat germ
1 jar (2.5 ounces) of strained Ham baby food (you can substitute strained beef baby food if you like)
1/2 teaspoon of beef bouillon granules
1 tablespoon grated mild cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In mixing bowl, combine wheat germ, baby food, bouillon granules, and milk. Roll into dough with hands and then work in cheese. Lightly grease cookie sheet. Roll dough into small balls about 1 inch in size and gently pat with hands and place on cookie sheet. You can lightly press the cookies with a cold fork to make a criss cross pattern, the way you would press peanut butter cookies. Bake for approximately 20 minutes and remove from oven and cool before serving.

You can wrap the cookies in plastic food storage bags and refrigerate until ready to use.
