Surprise your puppy dog with this homemade dog biscuits recipe. Our dog is part of the family, and we do spoil him. Is your dog like family to you?Bailey is our 100 lb. plus Chocolate Lab and he is always hungry, or so he thinks. One of the treats we give him is our homemade Bailey Biscuits. He bobs up and down so excited when he thinks he's about to get a BB treat.
Of course, we also give Bailey store-bought treats, too, but making this quick and easy dog treat recipe is fun and offers hours of smiles for me and my dog, Bailey.
Bailey is a happy dog, a pup who loves to hang around the kitchen. He has what I call, "bunny nose." He sniffs and smells all the kitchen fragrances. I think he smiles. His tail wags like a whip, back and forth. It's so sweet. He deserves a treat.
Dogs are part of home, food and family, aren't they? Why not have a few special treats in the doggie cookie jar?
Here's a dog biscuit, easy-to-make recipe that you can make at home during the TV commercial.
Homemade Dog Biscuits — Easy Dog Treat Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup water
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet.
In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, cornmeal and salt. Mix in the oil, egg and water to make a soft dough that is not too sticky.
You may add more flour if needed. Roll the dough, flatten, and cut with Your Cookie Cutter Dog Bone Set of 6
in different sizes to fit little dog and big dog bites. Place on the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until brown and firm.
Cool completely, then store in an airtight container. Makes a thoughtful gift, too. Place completed "cookies" in a plastic baggie and tie with a ribbon.
Ingredients
2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
1 cup milk
Directions
Combine flour and baking powder and set aside. Mix peanut butter and milk, and slowly add to dry ingredients. Mix and knead 10 times.
Roll dough or pat flat to about 1/4 inch thickness, cut out shapes and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 to 375 degrees for 20 minutes until lightly brown. Watch closely as they may burn in too hot an oven.
Cool on a rack, then store in an airtight container.
Tip:If you don't have the doggie bone cookie cutters, roll small pieces of dough into balls and bake; or use the rim of a glass as a cookie cutter. It's also a fun and rewarding bake-in-the-kitchen activity to do with a child.
For use with a large dog Kong toy, design an oblong shape so the dog treat fits into the hole in the top of the Kong toy.

I am concerned about my health so I am also concerned about Bailey's health. He not only exercises with me, his diet is nutritious and void of fatty foods and sugars.
Tips: I substitute the vegetable oil with olive oil. It doesn't change the taste, but I believe it is just better, I sometimes substitute the water for leftover roast beef stock or box chicken stock for an added boost of flavor. Finally, if I don't have corn meal in the pantry, I just open a box of Jilly corn muffin mix and use that. Works great!
