Apple Cheddar and Bits Homemade Dog Biscuits!
From: Andrea @ thecottagemarket.com/
Your furry friend or friends are going to be waggin' their tails when they see you in the kitchen baking up these scrumptious biscuits.
I will tell you that I got over 75 1 inch stars and 1 dozen bones from the recipe…that’s a nice amount of treats!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of white flour (you could use all whole wheat flour if you would like)
1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour
1 large egg
2 tablespoons of softened butter
2 tablespoons of olive oil
8 ounces of grate sharp cheddar
(you can use whatever cheese you would like EXCEPT for BLUE CHEESE…DOGS…MOLD cheeses are harmful to your dog!)
1 large apple peeled and grated (make sure there are not pits
2 tablespoons of dried parsley …if using fresh…3 tablespoons of finely sliced parsley
3 tablespoons of bacon bits…yes…our doggies can have a bit of bacon…just because we are vegetarians doesn’t mean they can’t indulge : ) I used pre-made bacon bits…but you can fry some up and break it up if you like.
1 cup of milk
(save a little bit of cheese…bits and parsley to sprinkle on top )
Directions:
Place the egg…butter and olive oil into your mixer bowl and whip together…add the milk and mix a bit more…now add the flours…slowly…then add the grated apple…cheese…parsley and bacon bits.
Your dough should be nice and smooth…pliable and ready to roll!
If it is too dry…add a little touch of water or milk and if it is too sticky…add a little bit more flour!
Now sprinkle some flour on your board or counter so the dough does not stick and roll out half of the dough (approximately 1/4″ thick) then what I did was sprinkled a little bit more cheese…bits and parsley on top and give it a few rolls so everything sticks.
Now it is time to cut out your shapes…large…small…medium…whatever you want for your pup or pups!
I will tell you that I got over 75 1 inch stars and 1 dozen bones from the recipe…that’s a nice amount of treats!
Place them on your lightly coated baking sheet or you can use parchment to line it and pop them into a pre-heated 375 degree oven for 20 – 30 minutes. (Every oven is different)
They should be golden and nicely browned on the bottom.
I made some of mine a little bit more crunchy for Basil and then some a little less crunchy for Pops… so leave them in till they are deeply golden for the real crunchy ones!!!
Take them out…allow them to cool and now they are ready to serve up to your best friend!
Store them in an air tight container.
I like to keep them in the fridge since they are homemade and they will keep in the fridge for 2 weeks.
You can also bag them up in little freezer bags and pop them out any time…you can keep them in the freezer for up to 6 months!
Trust me…they will never last that long!
Hope your doggy wags up a storm for these homemade doggie treats and you don’t have to be afraid to taste them yourself!
They are actually tasty!
BONE Appetit!
