Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

I have three terrific nieces—one human, my adorable Alex, and two of the canine variety, sweet Sadie and wonderful Whimsy.

Alex has enjoyed cookies from my kitchen through the years.  Now, in honor of National Dog Week (the last week of September), I decided it was time for Sadie and Whimsy to have a homemade biscuit or two.

Just as with human food, dog food can be laden with artificial ingredients with unpronounceable names.  This recipe uses all natural ingredients—and, to be honest, if it had any sugar in it, I’d be eating a few biscuits with Sadie and Whimsy myself.  The biscuit batter smelled so good that I knew I had to try a little sample of the baked biscuit.  From the little taste I had, I was sure it would be a winner.

I haven’t had a chance yet to drop off some biscuits for Sadie to see her reaction; but, when I stopped by to see Whimsy, it was clear that she gave them two paws up.  I tried to get a photo of her scarfing them down, but she was so excited with her treats and dancing about that the photos were blurry.  So, I’ve pulled out a couple of photos of my extended family from the archives.

Miss Sadie…

Miss Whimsy…

The biscuits are super easy to make, and your dog won’t care what shape they are.  I guarantee you will be the recipient of some extra doggie kisses for your efforts!

Fran’s Notes

The number of biscuits you will get out of this recipe obviously depends on the size of the cookie cutter you use.  I made a half recipe and got 18 biscuits using a 3” long bone-shaped cookie cutter.
