After realizing I was spending $24.95+/lb. for my organic dog treats I decided that I would try to make my own or just give my canine posse strip steak because it would be cheaper. I came up with this recipe which all of my dogs love.
Monty Snacks
1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato
2 large eggs
2 cups flour (I use oatmeal and add more or less flour until it has the consistency of cookie dough.)
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup melted beef fat (I saved the fat from 2 lbs. of hamburger cooked for making chili.) I DO NOT recommend bacon fat.
Mix together in a bowl. This creates my base dough and I add different things to it.
The dogs' favorite is cooked venison or beef cut into tiny morsels (like choc. chips). I add about 1 -2 cups of the cooked meat to the dough and stir it in thoroughly. Sometimes I add 1/2 cup real maple syrup, its not necessary but its a great source of calcium.
Use a small cookie scoop and flatten with a floured spatula before baking. These cookies will not spread during baking so you can put a lot on one sheet.
Heat the oven to 350 degrees, cook for 20-25 minutes and flip once during baking. Pull out of oven and cut each cookie in half on baking sheet. Return baking sheets to turned OFF oven so cookies can dry out a little more as the oven cools down.
Hope your dogs enjoy them as much as mine.
