February 23, National Dog Biscuit Day

 National Dog Biscuit Day

OOoooOoOooOoooooo

Cookies! 

(in my bestest Cookie Monster Voice)

Today is Dog Biscuit Day and Mom told Nutmeg she would make some homemade cookies for her!

 

Mom has not made cookies since Cinnamon went OTB as Nutmeg is not Food/Treat motivated (she has some allergies and many things upset her tummy), but lately she has been expressing interest. Mom thought she would try an new recipe that has only oats, bananas and peanut butter, all things that she can eat!

Oh Boy! I can't wait!

 This is a super simple recipe

 

 Mom dumped everyting into the food processor, (she DID peel and slice the bananas...)

 

 After about 2 minutes, she had the PURRFECT dough.

 

It made 2 purrfect balls! And Mom rolled it out!

 

And she cut out stars! 

 

 

 

And she put them on the cookie sheet. Then they went into the oven. 

The recipe did NOT say how thick to make the cookies. Mom made them different thicknesses so she could "tweak" the recipe if Nutmeg liked them.

 As you can see, the cookies came out different colors. 

 

Furrst,  Nutmeg got one of the darker brown ones,

 

 

And then one of the light brown ones...

 

She says these cookies are the best!  

Here is the link to the recipie! 

Mom says when she makes these again, they will be the thicker depth and she will cook them for less time. 

 

Oh Yes! The weather was warmer today, this morning it was -5C (23F) and Nuts got to go for a walk with Mom! 

Mom says they will go for one later this afternoon (right now it is 5c (45f)). 
 

Hands down, Nuts says this is the best day this Month! 

International Dog Biscuit Day

 

Today we are going to BAKE Cookies! Since Mom broke her leg, Nutmeg has only had Store bought treats!

 

Today we are BAKING Peanut Butter and BACON Cookies!

First, we turned on the oven and got all the ingredients together. 

 

 

Then we made the dough (we used Mom's mixer). Jo Jo could smell the bacon and jumped up to see what Mom was doing
(Mom laughed and laughed about Dough-Jo, we did NOT get it...)

 

 

Mom used the blender to turn the oatmeal into Oat Flour, the top came off and the kitchen was all oat floured...and there were lots of HBO words...

 

We rolled out the dough and cut the cookies. Mom found the dough was really easy to roll and it did not stick too bad. The dusting of flour worked wonderfully well.

 

We put the cookies on the sheet and put it in the oven.

 

And we baked them!

When they had cooled, Mom put the cookies on a plate and took them to the living room.

Kozmo appeared (as if by magic) and was into them right away! He LOVED them!

(Mom had to break the cookie into cat treat size bites)

Nutcase er Nutmeg was ready for the taste test!

She wanted MORE! Mom also broke some cookies up for Jo Jo and Me and we LOVE them too! Mom had to put them away,Nutcase, Me, Jo Jo and Kozmo have been mooching around ever since.

I have been trying to get the container open!

We give them 16 paws up! We ALL Loved  them (even Mom and Alex ate some)

If making them again, Mom will use a pizza cutter to make cat sized treats and she would shred the carrot smaller. The dough was easier to work with than most cookie doughs and rolled out easily.   

This is the AFTERMATH!!

 

Its time to cleanup...where did everyone go?
