Peanut Butter Doggie Treats

Dewey is a peanut butter fiend.  It’s the one type of people-food we let her have (besides the crumbs I drop when cooking, which are snapped up pretty quickly), and she gets so excited about it that she visibly drools.  Since this is fairly disgusting, even for a set of parents who find most everything she does adorable, we decided to make Dewey her own peanut butter treats–they’re much simpler to deal with, and don’t involve the risk of stray drool winding up in our own peanut butter supply.

Josh made these out of peanut butter, oats, and wheat flour–which means that technically, we could eat them too…but I’m not sure that the texture would be particularly appetizing to our palates.  Anyway, after the mixture came together, he rolled it out to about 3/4 an inch thick, cut out little bone shapes with cookie cutters we got especially for this purpose, and then baked them till they were firm.  Unlike most of the things we make, I can’t tell you for certain that they were delicious–but Dewey definitely seems to think so.
