Dogs Need Treats Too

I told Cole (my dog) that I had found a recipe for treats. His ears perked way up so I was assuming that meant he wanted me to make some for him. Then I realized it was the holidays and Cole should not be the only doggy in town getting spoiled with homemade treats so I decided to bake some for all of Cole's doggy friends to go with their owners goodie trays.

This recipe was so easy to make, I believe I got around 40 cookies out of one batch. But of course that depends on how thick/thin you make the dough.

After several failed attempts of getting a cute picture of the dog and the treats together I decided you have to see them separately. :) So here is a picture of my 3 year old black lab Cole all decorated up for the holidays.

And here is a picture of the treats that Cole loved so much.
