Our dog Skipper loves the cheese flavor (and smell) of these dog treats. They use dried Parmesan cheese so you don’t have to bother with the mess and bother of grating cheese to make them.
The inclusion of flax seeds in the dog biscuit recipe is a heart-healthy addition.
I think you will find that your dog loves these healthy dog treats and appreciates the effort that you make to bake the treats for him!
The easiest way to make the dog biscuits is to roll out the dough and just cut them into squares or shapes that approximate squares. Dogs don’t care!
The rougher the look of your shapes, the more handcrafted they look! You decide…
Ingredients - Cheese Doggie Biscuits
Here’s the recipe for dog biscuits:
1 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese powder
1 tablespoon tumeric
2 tablespoons flaxseeds
1 tablespoon dry milk
Parmesan cheese is easier to find (and less expensive) than cheddar cheese powder.
If you prefer to use cheddar cheese, using the powder (as opposed to using the fresh cheese) is a lot easier than grating it.
Directions for Cheese Homemade Dog Biscuits
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, using your mixer. Use a beater that will handle heavier dough, as this will end up being thick like cookie dough.
Divide the dough into 3 portions.
Roll each ball of dough into a sheet that is ¼” thick, using a rolling pin dusted with flour (or with a cheesecloth cover). You can also use a new kind of non-stick rolling pin and avoid much of the mess!
Using a pizza cutter (I use a large one because the process is much faster.) cut the dough into squares (or any shape that you like).
Bake the biscuits on a greased baking sheet at 275 degrees F for 45-60 minutes. Check on the dog biscuits frequently to make sure that they don’t get too brown.
Turn off the oven and let the dog treats continue to dry for several hours or overnight.
Your cheese biscuits from this recipe for dog biscuits will keep well in an airtight container in your cupboard for a month or so. If you intend to keep them longer, you might put them in the refrigerator or freezer.
