Used to make sugar cookies mostly cut out with cookie cutters when all my kids were at home but it was time consuming & preferred the drop cookies as a lot faster. Don't do it anymore as I cant see all the time for just myself & used to have a lot of kids at home when I did make them.
Well this is what I am suppose to do today but I have a torn rotter cuff (right shoulder). So easier to work this puzzle. It hurts to stir, my left arm is already sore from working it too much. But I know I will cave in by the end of the day and getter done! I will have surgery in April cause Jan we leave for Alabama for a few months. Would rather hurt in warmth and sunshine. Have a good one! God is so good! I am from Michigan, sunny today but snow is a coming!
Do you run a kennel? My husband used to toy with the idea of running a dog obedience training school in his retirement. We have no dogs now.

Are you going to use cookie cutters to shape them? That would be so cute for them.

Would you mind posting your recipe? It wouldn't make any differences if you shaped them or not. If your dogs are like mine they wolf it down so fast they don't care what it looks like.

I would like to have the recipe. My dog just loves the "treats".

Pixipixil, I don't run a kennel, it only feels like that sometimes. 1 dog, 3 cats, 2 parakeets and 1 Betta; The dogs I'm baking for are 'furrkids' of my friends (and mine too of course, she sits in the kitchen while they're baking! )
KnadineM, Yes, I'm using cookie cutters; so far have use candy canes, Christmas trees and gingerbread men; I made a double batch so tomorrow's choices will be Stars, Angels and Santa's boot;

Jingles and goof1953, here you go!
Must honor copyright: this recipe comes from The Doggy Bone Cookbook by Michele Bledsoe;
Peamutt Butter treats
2 tablespoons corn oil
1/2 Cup creamy peanut butter
1 Cup water
1 Cup Whole Wheat flour
2 Cups white four
Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit. Combine oil, PB and water; Add flour 1 cup at a time, then knead into firm dough; Roll to 1/4" thickness, cut with cookie cutter; Place on ungreased cookie sheet, baking for 20 minutes; Makes about 2 dozen treats, depending on size of cookie.
A few notes: I substitute 2 Tblsp apple sauce for the oil. One dog is allergic to corn, and it makes for a bit less fat overall; and watch the time, they can go from 'crisp done' to burnt quickly; Also, these do not have preservatives, so if you prefer a chewier cookie (for those older doggies) keep then stored in the fridge. Otherwise, bake them to 'crisp done' (I can 'knock' on them) and they'll last just fine in the pantry.

Thanks so much for the recipe. I work at an animal shelter, over a hundred dogs and they'll like even my cooking.

Just finished bagging them all up for everyone. My Polly watched VERY closely! She gives them "two paws" up!! Though she's not sure why any have to leave the house!
