Valentine’s Day Dog Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup boiling water
¾ cup cornmeal
1-2 teaspoons vegetable, chicken or beef-flavor instant bouillon
½ cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg beaten
4 cups Bob’s Red Mill Oat Flour
¾ cup Bob’s Red Mill White Rice Flour
Optional add-ins:
½ cup shredded carrots
½ cup ground sweet potatoes
½ cup ground blueberries
½ cup ground cranberries
5 ground turkey dogs
Cooking instructions:
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease cookie sheets.
In large bowl combine rolled oats and boiling water; let stand 10 minutes. Stir in cornmeal, bouillon, milk, cheese, egg and optional ingredients; mix well. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to form a stiff dough. On floured surface, knead in remaining flour until dough is smooth and no longer sticky, 3-4 minutes. Roll or pat out dough to ½ inch thickness; cut with bone-shaped or other cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake at 325 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely. Makes approximately 42 large or 95 small biscuits.
