A few years ago I found this dog cookie recipe in a magazine called “The Bark”, it is very easy but a little time consuming, well worth the effort though. My dogs love these and they are made with all natural ingredients so their good for them; in fact my nephew even eats them! So with all the warnings out there on so many treats that are imported give these a try and see what you and your dogs think ![]()
Gingerbones
Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup molasses
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil (I use olive oil)
4 tablespoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
Directions
Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine. Roll out dough on floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Using cookie cutters cut into desired shapes. Combine dough scraps until all dough has been used. Place cookies on ungreased foil-lined (can also use parchment paper) baking sheets and bake in preheated 325 degree oven for 30-35 minutes. Cool completely, they will harden as they cool.
Yields 4-6 dozen depending on the size of your cookie cutters.
I did a big jar of these for a gift bag of goodies that were offered on our raffle table this past weekend at our supported dog show; so I did a theme, the state of Michigan for the Michigan dog club, a duck for what my breed retrieves and a squirrel well because most dogs like to chase them
The squirrel and state are large cookie cutters and the duck is a medium cutter so I would guess the recipe made about 4 dozen.
Happy Baking!!











Sounds like a great recipe and I love the shapes you made! I bet they smelled really good baking in the oven!
They sure do and dog drool to go with, so put a bucket under Leroy and Sherman if you make them
He,he easy cookies, like it…Thanks!!!
This sounds like a terrific recipe. I’m going to have to try it for Fred and Gloria. Love those cookie cutters, I only have a bone and fish. LOL!
My guys love them and they are kind of fun to make, I know the dogs could care less about the shapes but I like doing all kinds of shapes and I have tons of cutters. I even went as far as to do hearts at Valentines time
They look yummy!
The dogs sure like them
Thanks for posting, they look good enough for me to eat! Will have to give them a try.
My nephew eats them and says they taste like ginger snaps just without sugar.
Love those shapes! What a nice raffle prize…I just love raffles! If I would just buy the stuff that I try to win in raffles, I’d probably spend a lot less money…but where’s the fun in that?!
LOL I agree it’s the fun of the raffle that makes it all worth it!
Cool recipe. Can’t wait to make it for a certain Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Let me know how he likes them
I love that you made the dog cookies into shapes:)
They do sound easy to make – thank you!
You will have to have the tall person and De make some for you Bassa, they are very yummy!!
