Christmas Cookies for your Dog at Bark Avenue

We grew up decorating Christmas cookies and it was always a fun time to share with everyone. So you can imagine our delight when we opened the box full of Squeaky Christmas Cookie toys!

All the old favorites are there - Snowman, Star, Tree and of course Santa!
Embroidered "icing" detail really finishes them off - and a squeak of course.
Now the problem is which one to pick?
Maybe all four?

Also if you want to make dog friendly Christmas cookies we found a great recipe -

Ginger Bread Bones!

Serving: 2 to 3 dozens Ginger Bread Bones

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all purpose flour
• 1 cup of whole wheat flour
• ½ cup of molasses
• ½ cup of water
• A quarter cup of canola oil
• 2 tablespoons of ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon of ground cloves

Methods:

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl.
3. Roll out dough on floured baking board to about 5mm thick.
4. Using a dog bone shape cookie cutter to cut as many shapes until the dough is all used up.
5. Place cut dough on ungreased foiled baking sheets.
6. Bake the cookies for 30 minutes.
7. Allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before serving.

Special Notes:

• For added benefit, punch holes on both ends of the cookie bone with thick (bubble tea) straw before baking. Once they’re baked, put a thin slice of raw carrot through each hole. They way, your dog will have some fiber in his diet.
• If these ginger bread bones are eaten as snacks, it should last you about a week in an air-tight jar. Remember to discount some portion from his daily meal intake so that he won’t be overfed.
