Making Dog Biscuits

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts.  In celebration, Girl Scouts of America is having a community service drive.  The girls in my troop got to pick out a community service project and give it a name.  There were lots of good ideas, but the girls decided that they wanted to make dog biscuits and donate them to the Human Society here in town.  They called their project Troop Treats for Pound Puppies.

I found a dog treat recipe pretty much easy enough for a little girl to make herself. First, you mix flour, oats, peanut butter, and hot water.

Then you knead the dough and roll it into a big circle:

Next, use cookie cutters to cut the dough into shapes:

Put them on a cookie sheet and bake them up:

Of course, you have to give a sample to your own dogs before donating them to the shelter...

Good news...the dogs liked the homemade treats!  We hope the pound puppies do, too!
