FRANKLIN FRIDAY: OUR RECIPE FOR DOG COOKIES

 Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi Every Buddy! Hi! It's me it's me it's me Franklin the Bordernese and I'm here to tell you how to bake dog cookies with ease.

Mom made these cookies for me and ole Penlapee last night. She says I should start by telling you all the ingredients you need. 

 1/2 cup dry milk

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons oil but we use peanut butter

1 egg

2/3 cup cold water

2 1/2 cups flour

Preheat the oven to 350°. Put

everything except the flour in the bowl and mix it up. Mom used the mixer with the dough hooks because the dough gets kneaded but you can stir everything with a spoon and then knead with your hands. 

Mom used peanut butter because we LOVE peanut butter. One time she used oil and added peppermint extract but she said it didn't do anything to improve our breath. It couldn't because we have good smelling breath.

If you're using a mixer, stop it after a while to push everything down in the bowl with a rubber scraper. Gradually add the flour. It's okay if you get some crumbs outside the bowl. Brush them onto the floor because the dogs will eat them.

When everything is mixed together, knead the dough. If you aren't using a mixer, you should take the dough out of the bowl for this part.

Then you roll out the dough and cut it into shapes. Mom has a cookie cutter shaped like a bone that she used. She also has cookie cutters shaped like dogs. She didn't use those because it would make us look like cannibals.

Put the cookies on cookie sheets. She put just a little shortening on the cookie sheets so the cookies didn't stick. 

Put the cookie sheets in the oven. Depending on how thick or thin you rolled out the dough, the cookies will take about 20 minutes to bake so keep an eye on them.

The two little blobs are leftover pieces of dough and we don't care that they aren't bone shaped.

The cookies will be a nice golden brown when they're done, unless you bake them longer to make them crispy.

When you take the cookies out of the oven, you have to let them cool for a while so the dogs don't burn their tongues. When they're all ready, they look like this:

And I look like this because I know Mom will give me a cookie:

Now go bake some cookies for your dog. If you don't have a dog, you can bake cookies and send them to us.

Okay I love you Bye Bye!
