More Non People Treats

I was feeling pretty ambitious with my baking last weekend that I decided that I would bake for Rocky too. It's been a while since I made him any homemade dog treats so I thought I would give it a whirl. I even bought a dog treat cookbook so I thought I would test out one of the recipes from there. I decided to go with Peanut Butter, Honey & Oat Cookies, although Rocky also likes bananas this covered one of his favorite ingredients. It wasn't difficult to make the batter but I could tell from the get-go it was very sticky, I had no idea how this was going to be able to be cut out into the dog bone shapes. Turns out it was not easy. I was not a fan of this batter at all for making shapes out of. It took a TON of flour to roll them out and cut them out. I think I am going to stick with the original recipe I used for making dog bone shaped cookies going forward. Rocky had no objections to these cookies, he seemed to enjoy them, although I didn't enjoy cutting them out.

Peanut Butter, Honey and Oat Cookies
Source: The Ultimate Dog Treat Cookbook

1 cup peanut butter
3 cups quick oats
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup low sodium chicken bouillon powder
1/3 cup warm water

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Warm the peanut butter in the microwave for about 1 minute until it's soft enough to mix with other ingredients. Grind 2 cups of the quick oats in a food processor or blender until a coarse flour. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together all the ingredients. Drop the dough onto a breadboard sprinkeled with flour or more ground quick oats. Work the dough on the board until you can make a ball. Roll out the dough to about a 1/4 inch think. Using a 3 inch dog bone shaped cookie cutter to cute the dough into shapes. Place the cookies on greased cookie sheets (The dough is soft and crumbly so transfer the cut-out shapes gently). Bake for about 10 minutes or until the bottoms of the cookies are golden brown. Remove from oven, let cool thoroughly, and store in an airtight container.
