My dogs love these treats ! I have made them twice. First time I followed the directions exact. Second time I kneaded the dough until it was very tough. This made the treats denser instead of like bread. Great training treats Heather, Casper, WY Posted: 6/13/2011 2:32:45 PM Is the chilled beef or chicken broth for sipping while making the biscuits? It's not included in the directions. Melodae, Jackson, OH Posted: 3/11/2011 7:46:28 AM Our lab gets rewards especially with pheasant hunting and we ran out of dog treats. I decided to try this recipe and it was a hit. She really gets wound up when we mention "do you want a cookie ?" I had fun making this and I feel it is more nutritious than store bought.( I decided to leave out the broth and used regular milk instead of powder) I have to be fair and try the cat treats next !
