For the Love of Dogs: Homemade Dog Treats

I honestly can't remember where this recipe originated but I've modified it and made it with different options so you can use the same 'base' recipe and then use different flavor options.  I have no idea how the dogs know when I'm baking for them, but they do!  They absolutely love these treats!

Base Ingredients:
1 1/2 C. whole wheat flour
1 C. white flour

1/2 C. non-fat powdered milk

1 egg

1 t. salt

1/2 C. molasses

1/4 C. honey

water (amount will vary).

Vanilla:

6 T. margarine

3 T. vanilla extract

Beef:

6 T. margarine

1/4 C. beef base

Chicken:

5 T. margarine

4 T. powdered chicken bouillon

Peanut Butter:

6 T. peanut butter

Oven = 350

Combine the base ingredients, plus the ingredients from one of the flavors.  Mix thoroughly.  If too dry, add 1 T. of water at a time until dough comes together, almost forming a ball.  If dough becomes too sticky, mix in a little bit of flour until formed without being too sticky.  Roll to 1/2" thickness and cut into shapes.  Place onto pizza stone or lightly greased cookie sheet (pizza stone works better).  For large shapes, bake 15-16 minutes.  For smaller shapes, bake 11-12 minutes.

**a fun variation for the vanilla and peanut butter flavors is to add carob chips (do not use REAL chocolate).  After placing the shapes on the pizza stone, I push carob chips into the top of the cookies before baking.
