This is a fantastic easy recipe. I just throw all ingredients into my bread machine and let it knead for 30 minutes. I have 2 large Labradoodles who don't care about shapes they just want to eat them. I just make them like drop cookies on a pan and they come out fantastic and the dogs definitely know when they come out of the oven they are for them.

Thanks so much for this recipe! I don't have a dog of my own, but often have friends and their dogs stopping by! I keep these in the freezer since, due to lack of preservatives, they go bad at room temp fairly quickly considering the pace they're consumed at in my home. I just pop one in the micro on defrost for a few mins. One dog friend of mine in particular will prance around with her treat for a while before sneaking off to eat it. She doesn't do this with any other treats! I haven't had a dog yet that wasn't anxious to gobble these up. Thanks for a cheap, easy and healthy recipe!!

My Viszla-mix, Sam, has a very sensitive stomach and most treats don't agree with him, but we need treats for his obedience training and I was really at a loss. This recipe is great! No junk (I couldn't believe what goes into most commercial treats...), and I can choose what goes into them.. I made them with sweet potato and chicken flavored baby foods and he loves them so much I had to put the container on a high shelf so he can't reach. I did need to add a bit more flour to make the dough workable, and I used a pizza cutter to cut the dough into small squares small enough to use for training. Also, after the baking time was done, I turned the oven off and left them in so that they came out very crunchy and dry and should keep very well in a sealed container (not that they'll last very long...) I think for Christmas this year, I'll make a big batch of these in bone shapes for the furry members of my extended family. Thanks for a great recipe!

If you've never made dog biscuits, you really need to try this. It is so much fun. The dough was extremely easy to work with. The recipe doesn't state what size jar of baby food to use. I found strained food in both 2 oz. and 4 oz. sizes. Since several people stated that the dough was too soft, I just used one 4 oz. jar and it was of perfect consistency. I also made the dough in my bread machine, but stopped the machine after it was done mixing. There was no need to let it go through the rise portion of the cycle. I used a bone shaped cutter. I also left them in the oven with the oven turned off for about an hour to harden them up more. My dog loves these! I took a picture and I will post it.
