Easy Cheesy Dog Treats

"I came up with the recipe after I decided to make treats for my family and friends' dogs for Christmas. I needed something soft because one of the old Chihuahuas teeth had started falling out and he couldn't chew the really crispy dog treats anymore. They do get a little crispy on the bottom but they're still slightly soft on the top. Store them in the refrigerator to keep them soft. I hope your dogs like them as much as ours did! (The recipe amounts have been adjusted for a double batch. Cut in half to make a single batch)"

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, mix together cheese, whole wheat flour and garlic powder.
  • Place beef bouillon cubes in a small bowl.
  • Add 1 cup water.
  • Microwave the bouillon mixture for 1 minute or until the water is very hot.
  • Stir and mash bouillon cubes until you have a very concentrated beef broth.
  • Add oil, broth and honey BBQ sauce to the flour/cheese mixture. You may have to use your hand for this but it doesn't stick very much.
  • Place on counter (you don't need flour) and knead 10 to 15 times.
  • Roll out to 1/4" thickness.
  • Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter (I used a flower cutter that was about 2-1/2" across).
  • Spray a cookie sheet; place the cut-outs on the sheet.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes (less time makes them softer).
  • To keep them soft, store in the refrigerator.

  1. Omit any form of garlic from all dog treat recipes! Garlic is very bad for them.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River. Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born. The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good. I love food.com because it allows me to expand my culinary skills and my recipe box with ideas from other people like me. There is something for everyone and I have been a loyal member since 2005. I hope you enjoy my recipes and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
