Homemade Dog Treat Recipe~ Chicken Liver Cookies

2 cups Flour
3 tbs. Vegetable oil
1 cup wheat germ or cormeal if wheat allergies are a problem
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tsp. parsley
1 cup cooked chicken liver, chopped

Combine flour and wheat germ. In separate bowl, beat egg with oil, then add broth & parsley, mix well. Add the dry ingredients to bowl a little at a time, stirring well. Fold in chicken livers and mix well. Dough will be firm. Turn dough out on lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Roll out 1/2" thick and cut into shapes. Place on greased cookie sheet 1" apart. Bake at 400F for 15 minutes or until firm. Store in refrigerator.

That is pretty close to my recipe also.
I just roll the dough out, plop it on the cookie sheet, and use a pizza cutter to cut into diamond shapes. After baking, they will snap apart along the cut lines. Easy-peasy!

Thank you so much for the recipe! I'm definitely going to be making these for my Ginger. She will love them! And it'll give me good uses for chicken innards.

I couldn't use corn meal in Ginger's treats, though... my dog is allergic to corn and has to eat a corn-free dog food. But I could use whole-wheat or oat flour just as easily, even rice flour if I had to!

I posted this recipe a few weeks ago for Doggie Oatmeal "Muffins". The dogs go crazy for them and they are like little softish cookies you can break apart for training treats:

I'm making these right now and they have passed the in-kitchen approval test so here's the recipe from the Epi-Guardian Angels website:

Oven at 350 deg.

4 cups Old fashioned oatmeal, not instant

Mix in a large separate bowl the following:
1 c grated carrots
3 eggs
1 to 1.25 lbs ground turkey
1 TBLSP olive oil

Mix in the oats gradually. For a small dog fill mini muffin tins half full and press down. For a large dog fill them to the top and press down. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. These don't keep so refrigerate what you will use in a few days and freeze the rest. Makes dozens of snacks.

What I like is that there are no preservatives. Oats are relatively easy to digest and my dogs don't get any other grains so the small amount in these doesn't bother me. AND they are super easy to make.

My friend's sister made dog treats, and told my friend that they were cookies. Poor thing fell for it and said "Ew, these are gross, they're like dog biscuits!" Which, of course, made her sister almost bust a gut from laughing so hard!

We've made doggy treats here. Liver, but we use just straight up liver.
I take wooden skewers, turn oven on to 200,, Put liver on, letting it hang down.. A tray under to catch any drippings.. (Clean freak here)
Let it dehrate a bit, then put in treat jar, Break up upon useing) House will stink to high heven' my dog loves ")
