DIY - Irresistible Dog Bone Peanut Butter Cookies

Ok, now first let me start by saying one thing.  These are DOG TREATS not human treats.  Though they can be used for and are acceptable for human consumption, they are intended to be used for DOG TREATS.  I promise though, that dogs will go crazy over the taste and I believe they would learn to stand on their heads given the chance to have one.

Having said that, let's get started.

As the ring leader of my family, it is a proven fact time and time again, that there is nothing you can't do, especially if you put your mind to it.  Dog Treats are of no exception.

Having the equipment and necessary ingredients on hand we were able to whip out these little treats in no time one blustery, breezy, cabin fever crazed afternoon.

Here's the ingredients you'll need.

Um, ok... My original recipe calls for something well... completely different.  haha.  So, since I didn't have that on hand, I went to task quickly altering the recipe to accommodate what I did have in the pantry.  Here's the altered recipe and directions. (I'll place the full recipe and directions at the end of this post.)

That's right!

 Bisquick, Peanut Butter and Whole Milk.

Mix it all together in a bowl.  Your wanting a bread dough consistency.

Turn it out on a floured surface and finish by kneading it like you would bread.

Finish the kneading process by hand pressing it to about what you see here.

I use an Italian Marble Rolling Pin.  It's quite heavy and makes short order of

rolling out the dough.  Roll it out until it is about 1/4" thick.

Next have a cute, cabin fever crazed little boy cut out the dog cookies,

using (of course) dog bone cookie cutters.

I didn't get a picture of him putting them in the pan, as I felt that it was just going to be a boring picture of

them in the pan.  So note here, that you need to grease the pan before you put them in the oven.

I cooked them at 400 degrees for 8 minutes.  And tada...

Irresistible Dog Bone Peanut Butter Cookies!

Aren't those just awesome?!

And they smell like peanut butter cookies too!

Thanks for hanging in there to the very end of this post.  Here's the revamped recipe I came up with.

IRRESISTIBLE DOG BONE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

2 cups Bisquick

1 cup Peanut Butter (creamy or crunchy - either is fine)

3/4 cup Whole Milk

Flour (I used Bisquick to flour the surface as well. It worked fine)

Place all ingredients in mixing bowl.  Mix until it reaches a doughy consistency. (The consistency of bread or biscuit dough). Turn out on floured surface and knead the dough for not more than 5 turns.  Hand press to about 1" all around.  Roll out the dough to approximately a 1/4" thickness, then use cookie cutters of your choice to make the treat shapes you desire.  Place on greased cookie sheet and place in 400 degree oven for 8 minutes.  If you prefer a longer cook time, decrease the temperature accordingly.

(makes 2 dozen)

Enjoy this quick doggie treat that makes dogs go crazier than bacon could ever imagine!
