Crunchy Mint Biscotti for Dogs

Submitted by barrdbarrbarr

"I found this recipe in the Feb 2006 issue of Dogs In Canada. I make these "cookies" for my dog frequently and she absolutely loves them! You can make them smaller or larger, depending on what size treat you like to give your dog. The ingredients are simple and pure, and these will keep for weeks, but I doubt you will have them for that long :)"
