Peanut Butter Doggie Treats

Have a dog? Have friends with dogs? Ever try one of their treats, even just a little nibble to see what they taste like? Well try these on for size- homemade peanut butter dog treats! I don't even have a dog, but I was a bit at a loss for what to make for the holidays this year for some of my friends. And somehow, I arrived at the idea to make some dog treats. That way I can kind of give a gift to my friend for being a good friend, and their dog for being a good dog. Perfect! I have a little bone shaped cookie cutter that was perfect for the job, but you should cut these into whatever shape and size will suit the dog or dogs they are intended for. Your dog(s) will be in for quite the...treat! (Sorry couldn't avoid the pun on that one...) Enjoy! :)

1 C. wheat flour (regular all-purpose flour is suitable as well)
1 C. corn flour
1 C. corn meal
1/2 C. smooth peanut butter
1 C. water
1/3 C. oil
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg

Preheat oven to 375F, and grease baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. In a microwave safe cup, heat peanut butter until it is a thinner liquid so it will be easier to mix in your dough. In a smaller bowl combine waiter, oil, vanilla, egg, and liquefied peanut butter. Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients bowl, and mix to make a stiff dough you can roll out. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4" thick and cut it into whatever shape you choose. Bake for 12-15 minutes, and allow to cool before storing. 

Put cooled treats in a large jar with a tag sent to the lucky puppy to make personalized gifts!
