Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Bones

 

If you know me personally, then you know we don’t have a dog.
Then why did I bake up so many dog bones?
 For my daughter to give to all the cute puppies she attends to over the year.    
 
My daughter LOVES dogs, * don’t tell our cat, she LOVES him too.
Sometimes I am sad for her we don’t have a dog, although I don’t think any dog we could ever get would receive so much of her attentions as these dogs do. You know how kids are! She takes her responsibility seriously and cares for these dogs better than in they were her own. Many people around our neighborhood ask me how are our dogs are….when I tell them, we don’t have a dog-they are shocked. Some she walks daily. Some periodically.She has been doing it for a few years now. It sure has shown us how responsible she is, and we love having them all visit! From Boxers to Shiatsu to Jack Russel Terriers to Labradors and so many more, we enjoy seeing how they have made her into the dog lover that she is today 🙂 Everyone said the dogs really enjoyed their treats. Looks like I’ll have to make another batch, all 30 are gone!
 
 
Peanut Butter Dog Bones Recipe
 
3 cups flour
1 cup cornmeal (flour may be used to substitute)
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup peanut butter
 (crunchy or creamy peanut butter, I only had crunchy-but creamy would have been easier to roll out 🙂
 
Roll out and cut with a bone shaped cookie cutter.
Bake 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
Made 30 3-inch dog bones.
 
Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons water
Ice when cookies are cool. (not that icing is necessary 🙂

 

It was a cute way for her to deliver these to all her canine friends. These are only a portion of them. My son said we should call this recipe “Bone Appetit”.
I love it!
What a fitting name.

  1. On the icing what did you use for the color? cant wait to make these for my 5 furbabies with their names on them

    1. I made the icing with powdered sugar and water, mixed to a consistency to pipe it on with a piping bag to write the names. Here is the recipe I now use on cookies and can be made for the dog treats too. https://www.createdby-diane.com/2012/01/how-to-ice-cookies-without-a-a-piping-bag-icing-the-easy-way.html and it easy to coat the cookies that way without piping all of them.
      I’m sure your furry friends will LOVE them.
      You may also get a kick out of the Pet friendly cakes I’ve made here https://www.createdby-diane.com/2013/01/how-to-make-a-no-bake-cake-for-you-cat-or-dog.html

    1. I made your Peanut Butter Biscuits and my dogs love them. What is the storage requirements, do they need to be refrigerated or frozen since they won’t be consumed right away?

    2. I store them in the freezer since they don’t have preservatives, my dog likes knows exactly when I open the freezer he can have one 🙂 In the fridge for a few days works but if you are keeping the whole batch I’d freeze them.
