Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

Dog Adventures
Are you a dog lover like me? Although I am allergic I cant resist those sweet little furry faces and that playful demeanor. I got the idea to make some dog treats when I had an appointment to get my hair done. Doesn't make much sense? Well let me get to the best part! My stylist and his wife just got a sweet little french bulldog puppy about 3 months ago. Ironically french bulldogs are my favorite dog so I just had to make some yummy pup approved snacks for this little guy. Dog treats are a new venture for me. I have always wanted to make them, but since I don't own a dog the need has never arisen...until now.
Treat Time
I got this recipe from the lovely Rosanna Pansino's Youtube channel. She is honestly such a breath of fresh air! I was so unsure of myself when going about a dog treat recipe since I wanted this to be absolutely 100% safe for a puppy to consume. I made sure to research foods that were appropriate for dogs to consume and I used organic products in my recipe. Not to mention Rosanna had a great recipe to keep me on my feet. This was such a simple recipe that anyone could do it. I started by buying fresh ingredients from the grocery store that I didn't already have on hand. My next step was to make the dough. It was super easy...although I did hit a snag with my beaters. The dough for the biscuit was so thick that it ran up my mixer and clogged the beaters. This was one of those "you had to be there" moments, because at the time I actually thought it was hilarious. From this point on I thought it was safest to just mix with a spatula (next time i'm using my stand mixer!). The shapes were so fun! I love the dog bone cookie cutters from Wilton, they cut so easy and make the cutest little shapes for the biscuits.
Tips
-I suggest using a stand mixer if you have one! I used a hand mixer to start and the dough was so thick that it ran up the mixer and clogged the beaters.
-Try to use organic pup safe ingredients. I used organic eggs and flour in this recipe.
-Use any shape you like to cut these treats out and have fun with them!
-The dough does not rise much so when rolling it out roll to your desired thickness of how you want your biscuit when its done.
Results
Little Hubert loved his new puppy biscuits. His owners even tried them out and gave the treats a thumbs up. (The treats are safe for pup owners to eat, however I wouldn't suggest eating a whole one since its not sweet like regular biscuits)
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups of organic flour
1 egg
1 Tsp baking powder
1 cup of water
1 cup of peanut butter
2 TBS of honey
Instructions
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In your stand mixer combine your flour, egg, and baking powder. Mix together until fully combined.
Step 2:
Next add water, peanut butter, and honey into your bowl. Combine until your dough starts to form, then shape into a ball.
Step 3:
Sprinkle a small amount of flour onto a clean surface (cutting board, counter top). Place your ball of dough on top and begin to roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Use your cookie cutters to make fun shapes in your dough.
Step 4:
Take your shapes and transfer them to a baking sheet. Place them in your oven for 18 minutes or until crisp.
Step 5:
When your biscuits are all done, let them cool completely then your pup can enjoy!
