Puppy Cookies

These tasty little puppies are easy to make and are not super sweet, but mom will be happy because they are not overloaded with sugar.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups of Flour
2 1/2 cups of Quick Oats (grind in a blender till it is a course flour)
1 1/2 cups of Sugar
*1/2 cup of ground Almonds (grind in the blender until they are powdery)
2 sticks of softened Butter
2 teaspoons of Vanilla
1 Egg
1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon of Salt (or salt to taste)
Raisins and Dark Chocolate Chips

* Allergy Alert: The Almonds are not necessary, but add a little extra protein and a subtle taste to the cookies. They also add a nice texture. If you do not like nuts or are allergic to them, the Almonds can be replaced with an extra 1/4 cup of flour, but add slowly to the mixture because you want the mixture to be like a clay.

Directions
Cream Butter, Egg and Vanilla until they are smooth.

Slowly add the mixture of ground Oats, Flour and ground Almonds.

Add the pinch of Salt and Baking Soda. Stir everything together until the dough is dry and a little like clay.

You may need to add a little water to the dough to help the texture of the dough so that it is not too dry. If it is too dry, add a tiny bit of water will help to soften it.

Download the Cookie template from our Puppy PlayDate Funpack and follow the shape forms to make different kinds of shapes of dogs.

Shape the dough into Puppy heads and add ears. To make the nose, add a bit of dough to the lower part of the dogs head and then use raisins (push them together tightly to form a larger nose).

For the lower part of the mouth, cut a raisin into a strip and add one piece from the nose and one piece flat against the chin.

Add 2 chocolate chips or 2 raisins for the eyes.

Bake at 325 degrees for approximately 12 to 15 minutes until the cookies are done. Baking time depends on how thick the cookies are and oven temperatures.

Bone appetit!
