Cheese Dog Bone Treats

EdsGirlAngie's Note:

I made these one year for a fundraiser bake sale for the local animal shelter... I figured, it's a bake sale, why not animal treats? They're not hard to make, and your pooch will love them. NOTE: these are not intended as people food.

Two dew claws up! Very, very easy to make. I used parsley rather than garlic, and weak beef broth rather than water. Darcy, our 3 month old GSD thinks these treats are wonderful! I used a 1 inch heart shaped cookie cutter and got 70 treats. With the scraps I did re-roll them, cut into small chewing gum strips to snap off for training treats. Thanks for posting!

The Boxer boys LOVE these treaties!! I made them with a combination of provolone (their personal favorite) cheddar cheese and mozarella. I didn't add the garlic this time, but will next batch. It will be in the monthly rotation for them from mommy (I bake their treats once per week)..Thanks for sharing EdsGirlAngie, slurps, hugs & kisses from the Boxer boys!!
