carob dipped pumpkin & peanutbutter dog cookies
I volunteered for a fundraiser next weekend for my husband's Army unit so my mother-in-law and I rented a booth during Fort Hood's Freedom Fest to sell some goodies. I spent a good bulk of today making these dog cookies and also baking some dog friendly biscottis.
Hopefully, these treats along with the goodies that my mother-in-law are making will be enough to recoup the $50 rental fee and then some!
I baked 4 different sizes and packaged them each in a cellophane bag.
the cookies I baked last night and today was all about dipping with my makeshift double boiler
these treat were doggie approved...they also got to eat the warped looking cookies
all done!
Pumpkin & Peanutbutter Dog Cookies

3. Roll to about 1/2" thick
4. Cut out your treats w/ a cookie cutter
5. Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheet
6. Bake for 30 mins, shut off the temp and leave overnight for the cookies to be bone hard (moisture = mold, I learned the hard way)
Carob Dip

Directions:
1. Melt the shortening and carob chips in a double broiler (I used a Pyrex bowl in a saucepan
