dog cookies and candies
from the canine cookery.....
 

Here you'll be treated to some of our original recipes enjoyed by many pups over the years.  We offer them for you to make for your own dog, to give away or even to sell, asking only that you acknowledge our ownership of the recipes, if posted online or reprinted, and that you use a different name for your treats, if you sell them---all of our product names have been registered. 

Though not stated within recipes, we use only organic or all-natural ingredients.  We think they taste best and are best for us and our dogs.  Here are links to articles that may interest you, when considering how to choose ingredients or wondering where buy them: Beyond "Human Grade" and Finding Quality Ingredients.

 

have fun baking!

 

"tater gators"

sweet potato-banana dog cookies (wheat-free/dairy-free)
 

dry ingredients:

3½ cups oat flour

1¾ cups brown rice flour

1 cup barley flour

¼ cup rolled oats

¼ cup nutritional yeast

¼ cup ground hulled sunflower seeds

¼ cup ground flax seeds

1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

 

wet ingredients:

1½ cups cooked sweet potato

½ cup thinly sliced banana

3 large eggs

¼ cup safflower oil

¼ cup blackstrap molasses

¼ cup orange juice, unsweetened

 

Peel sweet potatoes, cut into 1" pieces and steam until tender.  Reserving liquid, empty potatoes into strainer to drain well and cool thoroughly.

 

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.  Sift flours into mixer bowl.  Add remaining dry ingredients to flour and gently stir until mixed.  Add wet ingredients to dry, then mix on low to medium, until all flour is taken up and well combined.  Use a dough hook instead of paddle, if available.  Let dough sit for about 10 minutes before rolling.

 

Roll dough to ¼" thick or more on a lightly dusted surface and cut into fun shapes.  Adjust dough texture, if needed, with liquid from sweet potatoes or with flour added sparingly.  Baking time will depend on size and thickness of treats, pan material, number of pans in oven simultaneously, and other factors, including altitude and humidity.  We use a 3" alligator cutter for our famous "tater gators" and baking time is about 28 minutes, with pan rotated at the halfway-point.  When done, cookies will be crunchy and lightly browned underneath.

These fragrant and delicious treats keep well if refrigerated or frozen.  We've shipped them all over the U.S. by Priority Mail, and they were fresh on arrival.
