What ingredients do I need to make these dog treats?

• All-purpose flour
• Cheddar cheese
• Apple
• Egg
• Water

• INGREDIENTS SUBSTITUTION
  • Substitute apple for carrot.

• Storage: Keep some of the treats in a ziplock bag on the counter for 4 to 5 days. In the fridge for up to a month in an airtight container. They freeze really well, actually, my puppy prefers them frozen for a cold treat on hot summer days.

Cheese Dog Treats

Servings 30

Ingredients

• ▢ 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ▢ 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese Colby Jack is my puppy’s favorite as well
• ▢ 1 medium apple about ¾ cup, shredded apple. I did not peel my apple as I know my puppy can eat it. but you can peel the apple if you want.
• ▢ 1 egg
• ▢ ⅓ cup water

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line a parchment paper with a silicone mat. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, cheese, and shredded apple.
• Add the egg and the water. Mix to form a dough. (For this step, I mix with a Danish Dough Hook. You can use a stand-up mixer. I wouldn’t recommend using a hand mixer as the dough is thick and sticky.)
• Once the dough is all mixed, place it on a working surface. I used my baking silicone mat/OXO baking mat.
• If you still see some dry flour, knead 2 to 3 times.
• Before rolling, add about 1-2 tablespoons of flour to the mat and on the rolling pin. You may need to add more so the rolling pin doesn’t stick.
• Roll the dough to ¼ inch thick (I used a Joseph Joseph rolling pin)
• Use a cookie cutter and cut the dough into pieces.
• Place on the cookie sheet.
• Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cookies are nice and golden. Flip them after the first 15 minutes.
• Cool completely on a cooling rack.

Notes

• Storage: Keep some of the treats in a ziplock bag on the counter for 4 to 5 days. In the fridge for up to a month in an airtight container. They freeze really well, actually, my puppy prefers them frozen for a cold treat on hot summer days.
