Christmas: Dog Treat Biscuits
These made a lovely addition to Gift Bags for friends and family with hairy 4-legged members!

I think this recipe still needs a little more work, but Harry and Abby insist it's good enough to post as is!

Harry Supervises
Ingredients
1 Cup Rolled Oats
1 Cup Plain Wholemeal Flour
1/2 Cup Plain Flour
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda (Bicarb)
3 Tablespoons Natural Sugar-Free Yogurt
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Flavorings (See Note)

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 150°C
  2. Combine the Oats, Flours, Salt and Baking Soda in a bowl.
  3. Add in the wet ingredients, and mix well.
  4. Mix through the flavorings.  For a more decorative effect, reserve some to press into the tops of the cookies.
  5. Knead dough with a little extra Plain Flour until well combined, then roll out to about 8mm thick (just under 1cm).
  6. Cut into whatever shapes you like!  I used a dog-bone shape, and some smaller Star and Heart shapes for smaller doggies.
  7. Bake on a cookie sheet for approx. 30 minutes, or until firm.  If they are starting to get a bit too golden on the bottom, turn them over.
  8. Cool on racks away from hungry noses!

Note
Flavorings can be any dog-safe treat that will keep without refrigeration.
Examples:
Sugar-Free Yogurt or Carob Drops, Dried Liver, Dried Chicken/Beef/Lamb Jerky, Commercial Dog Treats (Schmacko's etc).  Chop them up roughly into small pieces!
