      Thanks for a great recipe! Four paws up from my fur children here. I love giving them treats that I know are good for them. One of my dogs needs softer treats due to issues with a growth in her mouth that requires surgery and constant monitoring. Both dogs are older, rescues, spoiled, and extremely special.

    • Depending upon the size you make the cookies – it will vary – but start watching them at 10-12 minutes and remember they will firm up even more while cooling.

    My senior dog, Bitty loves these! I reduced the cooking time by 3 minutes and I keep a slice of bread in the container to keep them soft. They look so yummy, in fact that my 24 year old daughter mistook them for cookies and ate 4.

    • So glad Bitty enjoys them! Hi to her! …and if I’m being honest – I’ve eaten them too – hey – it’s all good ingredients! LOL

    Could these be frozen? I am a dog walker and all my clients love these so I would like to make large batches and keep them in the freezer.

    I fix these all the time! My dogs go crazy for these and I have 4 of them so I make 4 times this recipe so that I have enough to last a while. I tasted one and it’s pretty good. Needs a little sugar for me but I like the fact that I know exactly what’s in these and so much cheaper than store bought.
