(Wednesday, February 01, 2006) - What better way to spoil your dog than to make her a batch of treats from scratch this Valentine's Day! Here is a recipe you can use to add some Valentine's Day details to a basic dog biscuit:


Basic Dog Biscuit Recipe:

2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 cup natural peanut butter

Preheat the oven to 375° F. In a bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter and milk, then combine the mixture with the dry ingredients and mix well. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness and use a heart cookie cutter to cut out Valentine shapes. Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes on a greased baking sheet until lightly brown. Cool the cookies on a rack, then store them in an airtight container.

Decoration Dipper
3 cups vanilla chips (*white chocolate)
1 tablespoon vegetable powder for coloring (see below)

Melt the vanilla chips and add vegetable oil and colorings. Dip the tips of the cookies in the icing and place on waxed paper to dry.
