Rice Flour Dog Cookie Food

2-INGREDIENT DOG TREATS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Mix flour and baby food by hand in a medium bowl to form a stiff dough. Place dough onto a clean, lightly floured work surface. Dust a rolling pin with flour and roll the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Cut into desired shapes and place onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 1/2 inch between cookies.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn oven off and leave cookies inside for 30 minutes. Remove and transfer to wire racks to cool.

PAW PRINT DOG TREATS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300°F. In large bowl, stir Dog Treat ingredients until soft dough forms.
• Divide dough in half. Using brown rice-floured rolling pin, roll each half to 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick on brown rice-floured surface. Cut with 1 1/2-inch round cutter. On ungreased cookie sheet, place cutouts about 1 inch apart. Use fingers to press paw print indents in cookies.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until dry and golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave carob chips and peanut butter uncovered on High 30 to 45 seconds or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Spoon into resealable food-storage plastic bag. Use kitchen scissors to cut 1/8-inch hole in corner of bag. Squeeze bag to pipe carob mixture in paw indents of cookies. Allow cookies to stand at room temperature about 1 hour or until carob mixture is set.
• Store in dog treat jar at room temperature up to 3 weeks.

CLEO'S PUMPKIN DOG BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In large bowl, whisk together eggs and pumpkin to smooth.
• Stir in dry milk, sea salt, and dried parsley (if using, optional).
• Add rice flour gradually, combining with spatula or hands to form a stiff, dry dough.
• Turn out onto lightly floured surface (can use the brown rice flour) and if dough is still rough, briefly knead and press to combine.
• Roll dough between 1/4 - 1/2″ - depending on your dog's chew preferences, - and use biscuit or other shape cutter to punch shapes, gathering and re-rolling scraps as you go.
• Place shapes on cookie sheet, no greasing or paper necessary.
• If desired, press fork pattern on biscuits before baking, a quick up-and-down movement with fork, lightly pressing down halfway through dough.
• Bake 20 minutes.
• Remove from oven and carefully turn biscuits over, then bake additional 20 minutes.
• Allow to cool completely on rack before feeding to dog.
• * Brown rice flour gives the biscuits crunch and promotes better dog digestion. Many dogs have touchy stomachs or allergies, and do not, like many people I know, tolerate wheat.
• Makes up to 75 small (1″) biscuits or 50 medium biscuits.

DOG BISCUITS

• Preheat oven to 350°. Combine flour, wheat germ and cinnamon. Stir in remaining ingredients. On a floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-in. thickness.

Store in an airtight container.

REI'S FAVORITE COOKIES (DOG TREATS)

Steps:

• Beat baby food, eggs and salt together in a large bowl.
• Stir in flour until dough comes together (you might need slightly more/less flour).
• Roll dough into balls (about 1/2 inch) and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Flatten each balls with spoon/fork; bake for 25-35mins at 350°F (depends on how hard and crunchy you want the cookies to be; Rei likes extra crunchy so I baked at 350F for 40mins).
• Remove and cool thoroughly on wire racks; store in airtight container (I store cookies in the fridge to prevent mold).
