New Year’s Resolution Cookies

I hope you are all out there working on your goals for the year, whether they are to fight for social justice…

Here’s a super supportive puppo participating in the Toronto #WomensMarch today. 13/10

or to stop and smell the flowers…

One of my new year’s resolutions is to post more frequently, and Truffle’s is to eat more snacks, so here is our first recipe of the year!

This cookie is loaded with healthy ingredients: carrots, flax seed, coconut oil (keeps our coats pretty!) and arugula, which is nutritious for dogs, but should be given in small doses, and preferably cooked.

Ingredients

2 large carrots
1 cup arugula
2 tbsp flax seeds
1 large egg
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup of water

Preheat your oven to 350F. Grind your flax seeds in a food processor, then put them into the bowl of your stand mixer, or a large mixing bowl. Chop the arugula in the same food processor (no need to clean in-between), followed by the carrots. Add your egg and coconut oil, and mix thoroughly. Add the flour a bit at a time, and then the 1/2 cup of water.

Once your dough comes together, roll out to about 1/3 inch thick, and cut out into desired shapes. Bake for 30 min. Let cool, and enjoy!

As with all homemade treats, keep in the fridge, or freeze and defrost as needed.

Recipe: Chicken Liver Biscuits

cldaisies

You might not think these biscuits smell like daisies, but Truffle begs to differ!

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 egg
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup water or chicken broth
170g cooked chicken liver (about 3/4 cup)

Rinse raw chicken liver in cold water. In a pot or pan, add enough water to cover livers, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10-15 min. Let cool.

Preheat oven to 375F.

Combine your dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.

In a food processor, blend your cooked chicken liver with olive oil. Add this pate and your wet ingredients to the mixing bowl and bring together by hand or with a stand mixer until you have a ball of cookie dough.

Roll out your dough to about a 1/2 inch thickness, and go to town with your chosen cookie cutter.

Bake on parchment paper or on a greased cookie sheet at 375F. for 20 min. You can go up to 30 if using a large cookie cutter or if you want a harder biscuit. I personally like dog treats I can break into smaller pieces without crumbling.

After the biscuits have cooled, store in fridge for up to a week, or freeze.

DOG REVIEW: Office dog Cosmo gave these biscuits 2 paws up and a “Can I have another please?” face!
