Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 cube beef bouillon, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
- 1 tablespoon mild paprika
- ¾ cup cornmeal
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup boiling water
- ⅓ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup milk
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
- In a large bowl, stir together the oats, white sugar, brown sugar, beef bouillon, poultry seasoning, paprika, cornmeal and flour. In a separate bowl, stir together the butter and hot water until butter melts, then stir in the milk and egg. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix until well blended. The dough will be stiff. If it is too stiff, add a bit more water. If it is too sticky, add more flour.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for a few turns. Roll out to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness, and cut into squares or into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place treats about 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned and firm. Let cool for 10 or 15 minutes. When completely cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Reviews
Very easy to make and substitute ingredients is a wonderful option with this recipe you can add more healthier ingredients..my 2 poodles loved it
My dogs love these! I didn’t have poultry seasoning, but they loved them and beg for them a lot. Thanks.
All five of my dogs give it a high five. They love them!
By far the best dog treat mixture of the 3 I’ve tried so far. Odd combination with the sugars and the seasonings, but it was dog-approved. It was the most complex, not complicated, but it turned out great! When making trays of dog treats as Christmas gifts, you really need to try all the recipes. Just waiting for them to cool and then it’s snack time for the puppies!
My dog loved them! This recipe makes a lot – about four cookie sheets for me. I didn’t have cornmeal, but cream of wheat and extra flour (about a cup at the end, until the dough wasn’t too sticky) worked well. I used water and a little apple cider vinegar (good for coat and flea prevention) instead of milk. I also refrigerated the dough for just a little while and it helped a lot. These are great!
I made these treats today and my dogs loved them.
I made over 17 dozen, we were going on a poker run/ cookie drive that sends cookies over to our soldiers and after making people cookies for our human soldiers I made these for our K-9 soldiers. I loved this recipe. It was easy to make and after the first batch I had it down pat. Of course I made extras for my german shepherd/rottweiler mix.
I made this recipe last night. They are delicious! Next time I make them, I am going to dissolve my beef boullion cube in the hot water, since it didn’t dissolve in the batter very well. But other than that, they were perfect, and EASY to roll out. A definite keeper! I wonder if it’s the paprika that makes them taste so good… probably, and the butter.
They dogs liked it even the cats liked it but they came out soft and really firm instead of crunchy.
I have made these twice already; and every dog I have given them too love them! They keep very well in an airtight jar or baggie. Thanks.
My dog loves these. I only used WW flour. He actually shakes when I get one out.
My dog loved these treats. I always have a problem with him trying to eat cookies off the counter. So these were a perfect distraction. He has none left. This recipe made so many that I was able to give some to my grandma for her 12 dogs. All loved them as well. Will be making these again.
I chose this recipe over others because it lends itself easily to substitutions. I replaced the butter with unsweetened applesauce, used quick oats instead of rolled, replaced the cornmeal with flax seeds (corn is the #1 allergy for dogs), and used wheat flour. I did have to add a lot of extra flour while my bread machine was mixing it for me, because it just seemed too sticky. I put it in the fridge for about a half hour before I started rolling and I think that probably helped a lot. I’ve been using Christmas cookie cutters and so far my dog likes them (but she’s not exactly picky, especially when she thinks I’m making human food and give her some).
My dogs loved these cookies!!! The cats even got in on the action and had a bite themselves!
Ok so I don’t make a lot of dog cookies but these were great! I made some of these for my dog and a neighbors dog for Christmas and they finished baking and my dog was just starring at me, so after they cooled she fell asleep and I waved one in front of her nose and she jumped right up and started to do a couple of tricks! I nibbled a little piece of one off and it actually tastes pretty good! I cut out little hearts but the cutter I have is like an inch and I came out with over 100 small hearts! I would rate 200000 stars if I could! I love it and it is now a Christmas tradition for my dog and I! Thanks schmoopie22!
These smelled so good baking I tried a nibble and they were pretty good. You can definitely taste the spices. My dog didn’t know what to think because the first one he tried was still a little warm. Made 2 1/2 cookie sheets worth.
I changed this recipe a little becuase I know that sugar isn’t good for dogs and they don’t really care for it either. Instead, I used peanut butter (about 1/2 cup). I used 4 beef and 4 chicken bouillon cubes in 2 cups of boiling water instead of milk. I used parsley (about 1/4 cup) instead of paprika (I read a review where someone said parsley helps with dog’s breath). I didn’t use any poultry seasonings, butter, or milk. Again I don’t think it’s needed in a dog treat. Next time I think I will put more eggs and add garlic. But with the changes I made the first time, my dogs loved them! And they actually picked them over store bought!! That’s a success in my book!
These were wonderful! Doggie LOVED them, and even I thought they were delicious as cheese-free crackers! I had a little leftover bacon fat in the fridge, so split the butter half & half with that, and added a chicken stock cube to the water. They worked out great and made plenty. Will definitely keep in my recipe box and make these again!
dogs loved these! I just added a bit of parsley for their breath. used soy milk. will keep these in the refer to keep fresh
I just finished making these and my two dogs went CRAZY for them. They are a definite hit. They’ll be very cute to give during the holidays, too! I was nervous about cooking for my dogs, and so I did some research on the ingredients. I did not use milk (can cause gastrointenstinal distress) and replaced it with more water. I mixed the beef bouillon with the bowling water to make a broth. I only added a pinch of sugar each. I did not add the seasonings, I read some conflicting reports on the paprika. I did add just a dash of cayenne. Thank you so much for this great recipe!
My puppy loves these! I made my dough without the bouillon and poultry seasoning then divided it in two. I made one batch with the bouillon and poultry seasoning and the other batch with a few shakes of cinnamon. They smelled so good when they were baking. I can’t tell which one Bandit likes better 😉
