DOT -- Dog Cookies

Over Thanksgiving I saw a recipe in the paper for Gingerbread Mailmen. I thought Lucy would enjoy these dog cookies. (What dog wouldn't?) I didn't have a mailman cookie cutter (does anyone?) but I knew I could find a good substitute. Last week I was browsing around in Tuesday Morning for something completely unrelated and I found a set of three bone cookie cutters in a tin for $5.

Sunday I made cookies for Lucy! The ingredients were all very wholesome, people-quality things.

They were super easy to make. (I truly love this mixer.)

I hadn't made cut-out cookies in years. But like riding a bike, you never forget how. It all comes back really quickly.

Done! Lucy was really interested in the good smells coming from the cooling cookies.

When I let her eat one, she snorffled it down! Of course I had to give her a few more.

I highly recommend making Gingerbread Mailmen (or Gingerbread Dog Bones) for your pups!

Fun! I've promised my fur-girls "we" will make cookies this year. These two have never had me-made dog cookies...

Thank you for the recipe. Gingerbread is good for tummy upsets and Samba has been having some tummy problems from the medicine she's taking. I'll make some of these for her this week.

Do you mind if I link back to you from my Dogs-N-More blog?

This sounds like a fun recipe. Thanks for the link. Lucy looks like she was a big help keeping an eye on those cookie/bones.

MaggieMae says, "MMMM"... they look good! My neighbor also makes homemade treats for her dog, and gave me the recipes, but I've yet to try them. The gingerbread sounds interesting.

Oh, what a lucky girl! Thor loves cookies. He also loves spice cake. We had to use a cookie this year to lure him into the truck to come home, because there was so much to see at the tree farm.

OMG! That picture of Lucy reaching for the biscuit is too cute. I have the same cookie cutter, and I'll keep my eyes out for a mailman cutter. I'll have to try this recipe during the holiday break.
