we used to have a dog bakery in our neighborhood
i would walk past it with a
humpf
thinking
people need to get a life
rolling my eyes
as i passed
perfectly coiffed poodles
with
their own frequent buyer cards
and suddenly
as if i hadn't just heard myself
i would turn on my heels
go in
and purchase
"just a little something"
for our two pups
because,
that stuff was irresistible
the shop closed last year
and, not surprisingly
i found
our dogs were happy with any and all treats

morning constitution
which is great
but
at christmas
i like to have something special
for the little rascals
imagine my surprise
when i came across peanut flour
at the local trader joes
i immediately thought
of dog biscuits
i'm silly that way
these are really easy to put together
and apparently yummy
i am not kidding when i tell you
our dogs were pestering me
to lick the bowl
humans can eat these too
but i don't know why one would
they are packed with
healthy goodness
but not
tasty goodness
unless
you are a dog
or
shipwrecked
1 cup peanut flour
2 cups oat bran
2 over-ripe bananas
3 egg yolks
3 Tbs honey
2 Tbs cinnamon
1/4-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
egg white for brushing cookies
sprinkles (optional)
place the peanut flour, oat bran, bananas, eggs, cinnamon and honey in the bowl of a food processor. process until it becomes a dough. turn onto your work bench and work in enough flour to make a firm dough, that can be rolled out. if you don't want to use wheat, you can use oat flour for this. roll out to about 1/4"thick and cut with cookie cutter of choice. place on cookie sheet and brush with egg white. top with sprinkles (if using). bake at 350F for about 20 minutes or until slightly browned. makes about 60 1 1/2" cookies
dharma is impolite
and hopes
i don't notice her
unceremoniously gobbling them up
w.d. carefully chooses
and suspects
it might be a trap
because a plate of cookies
on the floor
in the middle of the kitchen
seems a bit
suspicious
even to a dog
