Before getting started, it’s vital that pet chefs verify that no one in the household has a problem with peanut allergies. Even the smell of peanut butter can send a seriously sensitive individual into anaphylactic shock, so it’s important to ensure that your delicious treats will not pose a danger to anyone inside the home.
Also be cautious and aware of problems concerning peanut allergies when sharing your treats and giving them as gifts. Notably, peanut butter and other nut allergies are extremely rare in dogs.
The Necessary Equipment

One extra large mixing bowl
One medium mixing bowl
Measuring spoons
Measuring cups
An electric or battery-powered mixer
A rolling pin
At least two large cookie sheets
Cookie cutters or rolling pizza cutter
A fork or whisk
An oven
The Dry Ingredients

3 cups of whole wheat flour
1/2 cup of cornmeal
1/2 cup of rolled oats
All-purpose flour for kneading
The Wet Ingredients

1 1/2 cups of water
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
3 medium or large eggs
3 teaspoons of vanilla
5 tablespoons of peanut butter
2 cube of chicken or beef bullion
Directions for Creating Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

Begin by preheating the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Next, measure out and combine all of the wet ingredients into a medium mixing bowl, with the exception of the bullion cubes. Use a fork or whisk to thoroughly mix all of the wet ingredients
Crumble two cubes of beef or chicken bullion into the bowl of wet ingredients. Use a fork or whisk to stir the contents of the bowl until the bullion has completely dissolved.
Measure out and combine all of the dry ingredients in an extra large mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix the dry ingredients.
Pour the wet ingredients into the extra large bowl containing the dry ingredients. Use a mixer or your hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly into a wet dough.
Remove about one-third of the dough at a time and place it on a well-floured surface. Knead the dough, adding 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour at a time. Continue to add flour and knead until the dough is moderately firm and of a consistency that will retain its shape when cut into individual treats.
Once the dough is of the desired consistency, use a rolling pin to flatten out the dough to a uniform thickness of 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch.
Use a cookie cutter or rolling pizza cutter to divide the dough into treat-sized pieces. Larger treats are more suitable for a large breed dog, while smaller treats are ideal for a small breed dog or for when the treats are going to be used as healthy rewards during the dog training process.
Place the treats on a large un-greased cookie sheet, spaced about 1/2 inch apart.
Place the cookie sheets in the oven, preheated to 375 degrees.
Bake the dog treats for 18 to 23 minutes, or until the treats take on a golden brown appearance.
Allow the treats to cool and then serve!
Since these treats are preservative-free, they do have a limited shelf life. To extend the life of your treats and to avoid spoiling, place a small quantity of the homemade dog biscuits (about a dozen at a time) in a Tupperware container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
The remaining treats can be placed in freezer bags and stored in the freezer for an indefinite period of time. A dozen treats at a time can be removed, thawed and then stored in the refrigerator

So my question is can my baby survive off veggies alone?

Survive? probably. Be heathly, no. Dogs NEED protient. Veggies are really good for them too though, maybe try mashing up the cooked veggies they like and mix it in with a high quality dog food

This is interesting because you read about never giving peanuts to dogs but I see all the time on tv dog shows people giving their dog peanut butter for snack. So peanuts cannot be all that bad like say chocolate...right?

LEO'S COOKIES (an original recipe from Pilar Passmore)

1/2 brick regular or low-fat cream cheese
2 cups whole-wheat flour
6 ounces carrot baby food
3 ounces olive oil
Splash of vanilla

Mix the ingredients; mash, knead and flatten. If you don't have a bone-shaped cookie cutter, use the baby food jar to make round cookies.
Place cookies on a baking sheet, and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn off the oven, and leave the cookies inside until the oven cools.
Yield: about 21/2 dozen cookies.

A batch generally keeps for about two weeks.

Passmore's warning: "Once they eat these cookies, they won't eat the others."

Does anyone know if these treats should be refrigerated once they are baked?

[SnugsColeman]

Princess is not into baked goodies all that much BUT the others sure are...Thank you so much!!!

[mjkaylee]

Can Leo Cookies be frozen for longer then 2 weeks?

She is so healthy and happy but I want her to stay healthy. Her poop is still solid. :

I have been feeding Deucy 1/2 of a scrambled egg each morning for breakfast for 4 years or so. Sometimes, I mix a little lean hamb meat in it but mostly, just the egg. He absolutely loves it and waits for it every single morning. I make sure they egg is cooked thoroughly and then I smash it with a fork because he will just swallow whole pieces and not chew, he loves it so much.
