GrandMoe’s Woof-Tacular Dog Treats Recipe

Oscar loves his GrandMoe (That’s my Mum, Maureen or Moe for short). And I think he loves her so much because she spoils him. One of the many ways she spoils him is by making him a batch of her special Woof-Tacular Dog Treats. These are his favorite. I break them up and put them in a puzzle ball when I leave for work, which usually keeps him busy for a good 30 minutes. And these treats are pretty crunchy, which means he has to work on them for a while. I like the fact that the crunchiness helps clean his teeth. Bake up a batch and your dog will love you as much as Oscar loves his GrandMoe.


GrandMoe’s Woof-Tacular Dog Treats Recipe


Makes 30-40 cookies


Ingredients:


2 tbsp chicken stock, dissolved


1 ½ cups warm water


2 eggs


1 cup shredded cheese


2 1/2 cups flour (any type)


1 cup wheat germ


1 cup cornmeal


1 cup whole rolled oats


1 tsp garlic powder


½ cup instant nonfat milk powder


2 tbsp Molasses


*Optional: feel free to add in scraps of leftover meat (cut up into small pieces) or dry kibble


Directions:


  1. Preheat oven to 300F
  2. Dissolve chicken stock in warm water and pour into bowl
  3. Once dissolved, add eggs and cheese to the water and mix thoroughly
  4. Add 1 ½ cups of flour and the rest of the ingredients. Mix well.
  5. Add just enough flour to make a dough that you can roll out 1.4 inch thick.
  6. Cut out with cookie cutters and place on a non-stick cookie sheet.
  7. Bake for 1 hour
  8. Turn off oven. Turn the cookies over and let them sit in the hot oven for 2 more hours to dry. If you’re not using these treats within a week or two, keep them refrigerated in a moisture-proof bag.
