Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits Your Pup Will Love

Barkcuterie: A New Take on Homemade Dog Treats

I’m a happy dog owner, and many of my friends are too. Over the years, we’ve exchanged homemade dog treats as holiday gifts, and I’m always grateful for the thought. Recently, my friend Jann sent me a book on baking for dogs, "Barkcuterie" by Hammy and Olivia, which showcases a variety of dog treats.

One of the recipes that caught my attention was the four-ingredient Peanut Butter Biscuits. With just a few simple ingredients, I was able to whip up a batch of delicious treats that my rescue chiweenie, Cinnamon, loved. Here’s the recipe:

Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

Yield: 20 to 30 depending on the size of the bone-shaped cookie cutter

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/4 cup unsalted chicken broth
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, plus more for dusting work surface
• Medium bone-shaped cookie cutter

COOK’S NOTES
I have bone-shaped cookie cutters in two sizes; one is 2-inches long, the other 3-inches long. I will gift the smaller size to little pooches.

DIRECTIONS

1. Arrange oven rack in center or oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, broth, and egg (I use my electric stand mixer to mix, but you can do it by hand if you prefer). Add the flour and mix just until incorporated and the mixture forms a soft dough.
3. On a lightly floured dry work surface, roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thick using a rolling pin. Use a medium bone-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
5. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.

Conclusion
"Barkcuterie" offers a unique take on homemade dog treats, with recipes that are not only delicious but also easy to make. I’m excited to try more recipes from the book and share them with my furry friends.
