Christmas Dog Treats

Make Your Dog's Christmas Merry

These Christmas Dog Cookies are festive and fun. They are great to use as dog gifts and in dog gift baskets.

Use a Christmas Tree cookie cutter to cut them out. The mint is a great holiday flavor and helps to keep your dog's breath fresh!

Mint Christmas Trees

2 Tablespoons Chopped Mint Leaves (Can also use parsley)
3/4 Cup Skim milk
1 Egg
1 Tablespoon Honey
3 Tablespoons Canola Oil
2 Tablespoons Wheat germ
1 Tablespoon Brewers Yeast
1 1/2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour

Instructions:

Add milk, egg, honey, oil, and mint to large mixing bowl and whisk together. Add wheat germ and brewers yeast and stir together until well blended. Mix in wheat flour 1/4 cup at a time until stiff dough forms.

Place on floured surface and roll to desired thickness. Cut out using Christmas Tree cookie cutter. Bake at 300 degrees. If rolled to 3/8" baking time is 30 to 35 minutes..or until a golden brown.

Tip: After shutting off the oven I leave the dog biscuits in the oven for a couple hours to make sure they are completely dry and crunchy. Then they can be stored for a long time with out worrying about spoilage.

Variation: Use a carob coating to create a classic chocolate(carob)/mint combination. Chocolate is dangerous for dogs but carob is a safe alternative. You can drizzle the carob in a zig zag design on the trees or dip one side of the trees in the carob. Allow coating to dry completely before storing.
