I usually groan every time goI to PetSmart and look at the price of the “good” dog treats. I mean, buying the “cheap” ones isn’t an option because my dog is a little king and is spoiled rotten. He should get the Snickers of doggie goodies, right? However, I thought it might be fun to try to make some homemade dog treats to see how Einstein likes them. I mean, why should my baking serve just the humans in the house? Einy should reap some benefits as well!
I was going to make some beef-flavored treats, but I thought that Einstein would enjoy peanut butter better since he DOES go crazy for some good PB. These were incredibly easy to make and even more fun since I found a dog-bone shaped cookie cutter in my big set! I ended up with almost 30 treats.
Peanut Butter Doggie Bones
Ingredients:
2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup low-fat milk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix peanut butter and milk. Add wet mixture to dry, and mix well.
Turn out dough on a lightly floured surface and knead. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness and cut out shapes. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake 20 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool on a rack and store in an airtight container.
The judge’s verdict:
“Can I PLEASE eat them ALL???”

I keep wanting to make dog treats for my dog. I should try these this weekend!!
awww!! they look so cute and yummy! i don’t have a bone cookie cutter, but i bet they’d taste just as good if i used my other cutters. einstein is such a handsome boy! i can’t wait to make some for murphy.
That is SUCH a good idea. And that pic with your dog up on the counter looking at all the treats is seriously the CUTEST picture ever!!
Einy is so flipping adorable I want to reach right through the screen and hug him and scratch his fluffly little ears. Oh and the treats are super cute too. Does he love them? I might have to make some for Cole soon.
awww.. that picture of einstein is so cute!! what a good mommy you are!! making him so yummy treats!
How Cute!
that picture of einstein is so cute! i wish i had a pup to make treats for!
That is too cute!
I am going to pass this on to my mom, she bought some somewhere and her dogs LOVED them.
OMG…love you pup!
My pup thanks you for the recipe.
i love the pic! too cute! these look great!
I love the picture of the dog it is so cute
Found your like from the Daring Bakers website — these look simple and great! I am totally making them for my dogs!
Hi there! I hope you’re not angry I reposted your recipe onto my blog. And yes, unlike some people, my dogs liked my cooking
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! I made these over the weekend in Christmas shapes for my Aunt’s Pit Bull and German Shepard…I’m smiling imagining such big dogs eating such dainty little treats but I think she(aunt) will really get a ‘kick’ out of the whole thing. Thanks again for posting and Happy Holidays!
I made the peanut butter doggie treats for my shi-tzu pup. She’ll be one on 3/28/09. She really loves them and I also made a batch for my cousins lab puppy.. great idea and good healthy treat!
thanks.
Your dog is SOOOOOOO cute! I made this recipe except I added one 4 ounce single serving container of Mott’s original applesauce (which equals a half of a cup) and the “biscuits” turned out soft, which I liked them that way. The vet says applesauce is a good source of fiber for dogs. I put them in celophane bags and printed out a fold-over tag in a dog font that said:
Doggie Peanut
Butter Buddies
INGREDIENTS: Made With LOTS of Love, Chunky Peanut Butter,
Whole Wheat Flour, Baking Powder, Milk, and Applesauce
Then I stapled it shut and gave them to all my “dog” friends. Needless to say, they all went nuts for them!!!!!!!
AWWWWW! what an ADORABLE baby!!!!!!!!! Such a cutie pie! My baby scarlett (lab/shepherd) and I are making these cookies for her doggie relative Nellie for Christmas! We are using snowflake cookie cutters!!!!
Hey, i heard baking powder is toxic to dogs
What a great recipe. I profess to be a non-dog lover but find myself knitting sweaters for my son and dil’s French bulldog and he is a huge fan of peanut butter. These look like they would suit him just fine!
Great blog, keeping me from working
