Dog Cookie Recipe Ideas
Easy dog cookie recipe ideas.
Drop cookie recipes for dogs will make great homemade dog treats. The
dog cookies are very flexible in that they can be made in any size to
accommodate all dogs from teacups to Great Danes. Because you are
making these yourself, you know what a typical “bite size” is for your
dog. Drop cookies should be made so that one cookie is the size of one
bite.
Great homemade dog treats require several ingredients
mixed in the correct proportions. Because it is often expensive to
purchase several different ingredients when you will only be using a
little of each, we have found that if you use a dog treat base mix as a
starting point, you will benefit from having all of the different
base ingredients in the correct amounts for an economical price.
The following dog cookie recipe ideas require use of a homemade dog treats base mix which is available over the internet from companies such as K9Cakery.com.
Sweet Potato and Liver Drops Dog Cookie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 package dog biscuit mix
- 3/4 cup sweet potato
- 2 chicken livers
- 1/8 teaspoon ascorbic acid (a natural preservative)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare a pre-greased cookie sheet and set to the side.
- Peel and dice a small sweet potato into ½ inch squares to fill ¾ cup.
- Place
sweet potato cubes into a microwave safe dish and microwave on high
until soft and easily mashed. Microwave times will vary based on the
power of your oven. A few minutes should be all that is required.
- Once soft, mash potatoes well.
- Place a pan on the stove at medium high heat and coat with cooking oil (we recommend extra virgin olive oil for its health benefits)
- Take 2 chicken livers and cut into 1 inch pieces.
- When pan is hot, add the chicken livers, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper and stir until done.
- Place the cooked chicken livers and the sweet potato into a mixing bowl and mix well. The final consistency should be like mashed potatoes.
- Prepare the dog treat base mix as instructed for this dog cookie recipe.
- Once the base mix is prepared, add the sweet potato, chicken liver mixture and mix well.
- Depending
on the size treat you desire, drop bite sized drops of the mixture onto
the pre-greased cookie sheet and place on the middle rack of the oven.
- Bake until treats are a golden brown and firm to the touch. Smaller treats will take less time than larger treats.
- Check the bottom of some of the treats during the cooking process. If they begin to get dark brown around the edges, turn off the oven. These treats can burn on the bottom before you see it on the top.
- When done, turn off oven and let treats remain inside for another 60 minutes to cool and harden.
- Once cool, store treats in the refrigerator in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks. If you do not plan to use all of them within 2 weeks' time, store the extra treats in the freezer until you plan to use them.
- Decorate with Magifrost dog treat icing for a shiny, glossy finish.
