HOMEMADE DOGGIE TREATS

I like to bake, but don't often have the opportunity to do so. So, to satisfy this urge, I will bake homemade treats for my dog. It's fun, inexpensive and you know exactly what is in them.

There are SO many books and websites out there these days that finding recipes for dog treats couldn't be easier.

I was looking for something in the spirit of the holiday and found the one listed below on healthyrecipesforpets.com . I used holiday shaped cookie cutters and used food coloring to color some non fat cream cheese as "frosting". I hope your dog likes them as much as mine did!!

**Apple Cinnamon Doggie Biscuits**

NOTE: if you substitute corn meal just subtract about 3/4 cup from flour and add Corn meal

Ingredients:
1 package apple, dried
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon parsley, freeze-dried
1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
1 cup ice water
1/2 cup Corn Oil
5 cups flour
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 tablespoon corn oil

Preparation & Cooking
Put the apples in a food processor so that pieces are small. Combine in a bowl all of the ingredients -- can add oil or water if dough is too dry. Using a rolling pin roll out dough to about 3/16" thick (can make thinner or thicker). Using a cookie cutter -- cut into shapes -- place on cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for approx 20 -25 minutes (until golden).

Happy Holidays!!!
