These cookies are easy to make

My friend Marisa sent me this link to the cutest dog cookies ever. The original post from a girl named Amanda’s Singaporean Cooking Blog. They are actually really easy to make. I’ve Americanized the recipe to help everyone here make it (and extrapolated on ingredients we will have to substitute). You still will have to guess and round up some of these measurements just because it is easier:

Dog Cookies

Ingredients:
80g/12.6 tbsn of butter, softened at room temperature
80g/5.6 tbsn of Ovaltine or another malt-based drink (check local Hispanic store for Milo)
200g/.875 cups of cake flour
25g/1.75 tbsn corn flour
25g/1.75 tbsn milk powder

Fillings:
100g/7 tbsn chocolate chips
20g/4.2 tsp cornflakes (optional, crushed)

Toppings:
Chocolate rice (perhaps substitute with chocolate sprinkles)
Koko Krunch (this is for the ears, so look for a cereal that resembles the picture, I can’t think of one but I think a store brand might be a good bet)

Steps:

Pre-heat oven to 150deg C/300deg F. Line baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
Cream butter and Ovaltine/Milo for about three minutes till pale in color (Ovaltine will give it a darker color).
Add in cake flour, cornflour and milk powder and beat for about one minute to form
dough.
Divide dough into 10g each. Flatten each piece of dough, and add in the fillings (some chocolate chips and cornflakes). Roll into balls (keeping the fillings inside).
Decorate as desired, using the ingredients to make the features of the dogs. Insert two pieces of Koko Krunch to form the ears, chocolate rice for the eyes, and a chocolate chip in the centre for the nose.
Bake at 150 deg C for about 35- 40mins. Or till golden brown.
Leave to cool on wire rack before storing in an airtight container.

Recipe for Homemade Dog Treats – Hound Hearts

Today is my mom’s birthday, but it felt like Titus’ birthday because he was being spoiled rotten. My mom made him dog treats from scratch. He liked the smell of them, the dough, and of course the finished product. I recommend the receipe, it is from the Washington Post:

Hound Hearts

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 pound chicken hearts (or combination of hearts and gizzards)

One 14 1/2 ounce can of diced tomatoes

4 cups whole wheat flour

2 cups cooked rice

4 tablespoons dried basil

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken hearts and cook, stirring frequently until the meat is brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Place the cooked chicken hearts, including oil, in a blender with tomatoes, including juice. Puree.

Place the flour, cooked rice, chicken-heart puree and basil in a large bowl.

Mix thoroughly to combine.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.

Using a cookie cutter, cut into heart shapes. Combine dough scraps and continue to roll out and cut into shapes until all dough has been used.

Place cookies on ungreased, foil-lined baking sheets and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the cookies dry in it for 3 hours or overnight. Makes 5 to 6 dozen.
