I am the original submitter of this recipe. THE RECIPE WAS SUBMITTED WITH USE ONE CUP OF WATER, ADDING A LITTLE MORE AT A TIME AS NEEDED ~ These dog biscuits require the use of Wheat flour which some dogs are sensitive to, if so its so easy to modify this recipe, simply substitute one cup of wheat flour for 1-1/4 cup of rye or oat flour or ¾ cup, rice, barley or potato flour.
I made these today and my puppy loves them! I didn't roll mine out rather I dropped them like bisquits. What a hit!!
They must taste really good because my dog loves them, however, the dough was super sticky and I never did get it to the point of being able to roll it like cookie dough. I even added more flour.I just had to drop the dough on the cookie sheet and press each one down to make them somewhat flat. Also, they didn't get as hard as the recipe noted.- I followed the recipe exactly.
The treats are excellent and our dog loves them. However as noted by several reviewers the amount of liquid appears excessive. I would recommend starting out with one cup of water then adding more as needed to bring the dough to a consistency for kneading and cutting.
Haven't made these but something similar. You can sweeten with dates too. I would use about 2 to 4 dried fine chopped dates in this recipe. They are great for your hound because they are packed with minerals and vitamins. My girls like just eating dates too for a treat.
Oh my gosh I've never seen my doggies dance and beg sooo much then right after they ate their first cookie from this recipe! These were a huge hit!!!! ---FYI: the dough will be really sticky. Don't stick your hands in it to knead it. I did that and it was a mistake! What you want to do is flour a surface put the dough on that surface sprinkle some more flour over the dough rub some on your hands and then try to knead it or just roll it with a rolling pin. That works much much better:)
I wasn't too impressed with this recipe. The dough came out VERY sticky, and after baking and drying the treats, my dog really wasn't too impressed with them. It was a good idea, but a bad recipe.
There is a peanut butter/banana treat recipe here that is MUCH better.
My two Jack Russell Terrier boys love this treat recpie!! Good ingredients too. Will definitely be baking these again in the future. Thank you for the great recipe.
I'm really sorry I don't normally rate anything a 1 but this recipe was a disaster. Like jlantz said the dough NEVER set-nowhere near being able to roll it out. I ended up having to add flour and oatmeal to get even close to to being able to roll and even then it stuck terribly to my counter. There was no way to even shape many of the pieces. 2 things kept me from throwing out the entire batch - the dogs enjoyed the flavor (and I have to say it wasn't too bad) and the guilt I would have felt wasting that much flour. I've made many different dog treat recipes over the years but this is one that I will never make again.
