With INTERNATIONAL DOG BISCUIT APPRECIATION DAY almost at our door steps, it’s about time to run to the store for some extra treats or make them.

Since this site is dedicated to being creatively frugal, I’ve posting some dog biscuit recipes I’ve either made in the past or have always wanted to try. I hope your pooch enjoys them.

Peanut Butter and Garlic Doggie Biscuits

2 cups Whole Wheat Flour

½ cup Corn Meal

¼ cup Peanut Butter (creamy NOT crunchy)

2/3 cup Beef, Chicken or Veggie Broth

1-2 tsp. Garlic Powder

1 tsp. Baking Soda and 1 tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 335 degrees. Mix corn meal and flour together in a large bowl. In a small cup, mix the baking soda and vinegar together. Add the peanut butter and vinegar mix into the flour/cornmeal and mix well. Add the broth while continuing to mix. Roll the dough out  on a floured surface. If the rolling pin has been dusted with flour and is still sticking to the dough, add a tad more flour to the batter and mix well again.

Stamp out your biscuits with a cookie cutter. Dog bone shaped cookie cutters can be found at JoAnn Fabrics, Petco, or other places that sell Wilton products.

If you are motivated, you can even make your own dog bone shaped cookie cutter or you can just use your regular cookie cutters.

Place biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 1 hour. Biscuits should not be over-browned, so begin checking at the 50 min. mark.  Let cool and air-dry overnight.
