How to Make this homemade Dog Treats recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
STEP TWO: Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl.
STEP THREE: Blend on low in a mixer until well blended. The mixture should form a dough-like texture. Or borrow your son’s muscles. In my experience, boy’s love proving how big their muscles are and showcasing what they can accomplish.
STEP FOUR: Once well mixed, put the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll to approximately 1/4 inch in thickness.
STEP FIVE: Use a cookie cutter or glass to cut out biscuits.
PRO TIP: We used a darling bone-shaped cookie cutter for our puppy treats. But you can use a traditional circle cookie cutter or a glass.
STEP SIX: Place in oven and bake for approximately 17 minutes.

Max loved this recipe! And my boys loved giving them to him. Both my boys are definitely dog lovers and have a big soft spot for Max. He loves them as well — especially when they are in front of him with homemade dog treats! 🙂
While Max was noshing on his dog cookies, my sister and I did some chatting. I’m so excited watching her get ready for the birth of her daughter.
