Cheesy Tomato Basil Dog Treats

 Cheesy Tomato Basil Dog Treats }






My dogs are spoiled. There is no chance in the world that I can deny it. 
I normally can not resist their pitiful looks for a treat. Sadly though, they can not eat everything that I do, because "people food" isn't the best for little pup tummies.

So when I started my board on Pinterest for Jasper, Bella and Chloe I mainly started pinning dog treat recipes. 

I found this recipe over at Doggy Dessert Chef

I'm still on the hunt for more treat recipes as well, but this is #1 on Jasper's treat list so far.

Jasper Fell in love with these. Bella and Chloe liked them, but not as much as Jasper did haha.

I made a double batch and gave some away to my mom and dad's dog and brother's dog.





Cheesy Tomato Basil Dog Treats
Adapted from Tomato Cheesy Dog Treats from Doggy Dessert Chef


Makes about 6 dozen (all depends on what size you make them)


What you need:

2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1/3 cup Milk
1 Egg
5 tablespoons Butter
1 can Tomato Paste (6 ounces)
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese
2 teaspoon dried Basil
1 teaspoon dried Parsley

What to do:


Preheat oven to 350F.


In the bowl of a mixer, mix everything together.  Once everything is mixed well. Scoop the dough out onto a work surface dusted with a little extra whole wheat flour.


Knead dough into ball. Add a little extra whole wheat flour while you work, if the dough gets to sticky.


Roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut out shapes with a cookie cutter.


I used a bone shaped cookie cutter for the pups :)


Use a fork poke holes in the tops of the biscuits.

Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes.



Cool on a wire rack.


Keep these in the fridge (you don't want them to go bad and mold)
