Beefy Buttery Dog Treats

Make peanut butter by mixing nuts and oil in a food processor and pulsing for 30 second intervals until creamy and smooth.

Brown beef over medium heat – you can leave it slightly pink since it will be baked as well. When ready, remove from heat and set aside.

Slightly warm the beef broth in a saucepan over low heat.

Mix together flour and oats in a large bowl, set aside.

Whisk together, in a small bowl, the peanut butter, olive oil, honey and the warm beef broth.

Mix together the peanut butter mixture and the flour mixture until they’re mixed completely.

Grind the ground beef into smaller pieces in your food processor, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add into the peanut butter mixture gently until combined.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until it’s smooth and no longer sticks to your hands. Roll out to 1/4 inch thick and cut the dough into shapes you desire. Adjust the size of the cookie cutter for the size of the dog, small, medium or large.

Place the cookies 2 inches apart on a silicone baking mat on your cookie sheet. Bake for 15-17 minutes. Then turn off oven and let treats cool in oven (with door open) for crispier treats or take out immediately and let cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes.
