DOGGIE NUM NUMS

  Preheat oven to 400°

  • 2 Cups wheat flour

  • 1 Cup white flour

  • 1 teaspoon Iodized salt

  • 1/4 Cup Canola Oil

  • 1 egg (more if you have plenty)

  • 2 Cups water

  • 4 beef bouillon cubes

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or crushed

  In small sauce pan, heat 2 cups water to boiling. I like to use my 2 cup glass measuring cup and just heat the water in the microwave. Place cubes into water to dissolve. Do this first so it can be cooling while the rest is prepared. 

  In medium sized mixing bowl, place flours and salt. Stir to blend. Add oil, egg and cooled beef broth. With mixer, blend until smooth. Add minced garlic and stir with spoon. The batter will be easier to spread if it is thin enough to pour. If needed, add just enough water to thin the mix.

  Pour onto cookie sheet and spread thin. Cook at 400° for 30 minutes. Decrease heat to 350° and cook for 1 hour. Turn oven off and leave for about 2 hours. You want all of the big cookie to be hard and dry. If parts are yet moist, break apart into appropriate sized nummies. Return the moist pieces to the oven and set for 350 and continue cooking for about 30 minutes more. Dry, hard and crunchy is just right. 

  When all pieces are completely cooled, store in an airtight container. 

 
Doggie Delights
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 cup water
  • carob chips (optional; available at most health food stores)
  • cookie cutters (optional; dog-theme ones available at some craft stores)
  • rolling pin
  • cookie sheet

How to Make Them:

Combine the flour, oatmeal, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.

Stir in the applesauce, honey, and water. Then knead until well mixed.

Form dough into a soft ball. Spread it out with a rolling pin until the dough is about 1/4 inch thick. (If it's too sticky, you can add more flour.)\

Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out fun shapes. Or you can just gently tear the dough apart and form it into small bone-shaped pieces. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. (Ask an adult for help.) Let cookies cool completely.

If you want, you can have an adult melt some carob chips. Then use a toothpick or spoon to decorate the cookies.

CAUTION: Never feed chocolate to dogs. It can make them very sick. Carob is safe for dogs to eat--and most dogs love the taste
