History

The recipe for Magic Doggie Cookies has been passed down through generations of dog lovers who wanted to provide their pets with a healthy and tasty snack. The combination of ingredients in these cookies is designed to provide dogs with essential nutrients and energy.

Ingredients

4 lb (1.81 kg) raw liver (I use chicken liver)
7 cup of regular flour
4 cup oatmeal (grind to a fine crumble in a food processor)
8 tsp of chicken bouillon
0.5 to 1 cup of HOT water (to dissolve bouillon)
8 eggs, beaten
6 tsp of garlic powder (not salt)
Dissolve the bouillon in the hot water and set aside.

In a LARGE bowl combine the following

Process the liver until it is mush (or chop very, very finely).
Add the beaten eggs
Add the garlic powder
Add the dissolved bouillon
Stir this mixture until well blended.

Add to the wet mixture a little at a time

1. flour
2. Finely ground oatmeal

How to prepare

If you add the flour or oatmeal all at once, the mixture may form a lump!
Once the mixture is thoroughly mixed, spread it evenly into the prepared jelly roll pans.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until it is baked through to the center.
Allow the baked goodies to cool in the pan for a while, then loosen the dough around the edges. Turn the pan upside down onto a bread board, remove the wax paper, and cut into bite-sized squares.
Place the cookies into zip-lock storage bags and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. These cookies also freeze very well.
Hints:
It is not necessary to process the oatmeal, but I prefer it to make the cookies less crumbly.
This recipe can be easily adjusted to fit your needs. I designed it to make enough for 6 dogs.
Feel free to experiment with the amount of garlic and bouillon, but be cautious with the liquids. You don't want the mixture to be too soupy.

Variations

Substitute beef liver for chicken liver for a different flavor.
Add grated carrots or sweet potatoes for extra nutrients and fiber.

Be sure to finely chop or process the raw chicken liver to ensure it is evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

How did I get this recipe?

The first time I saw this recipe, I was immediately intrigued. It was a chilly autumn day, and I was browsing through an old cookbook that I had inherited from my dear friend, Mrs. Jenkins. The pages were yellowed with age and the binding was worn, but the recipes within were like hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.

As I flipped through the pages, a recipe caught my eye. It was titled "Magic Doggie Cookies" and it promised to be a special treat for furry friends. The ingredients were simple enough – flour, oats, peanut butter, and honey – but it was the method that intrigued me. The recipe called for a pinch of love and a touch of magic, ingredients that couldn't be measured with a measuring cup or spoon.

I knew then that I had to try making these cookies for my beloved pup, Max. He had been my faithful companion for over a decade, and I wanted to show him just how much he meant to me. So, I set to work gathering the ingredients and preheating the oven, my heart filled with anticipation.

As I mixed the flour, oats, peanut butter, and honey together in a large bowl, I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder. Was it really possible that these simple ingredients could create something truly magical for my furry friend? I sprinkled in a little extra love as I stirred the mixture, my hands moving with a sense of purpose and joy.

Once the dough was ready, I rolled it out on a floured surface and cut it into small, bone-shaped cookies. I placed them on a baking sheet and popped them into the oven, the sweet scent of peanut butter and honey filling the air. As the cookies baked, I imagined Max's tail wagging in anticipation, his brown eyes shining with excitement.

Finally, the cookies were ready. I took them out of the oven and let them cool on a wire rack, the golden-brown treats tempting me with their delicious aroma. I couldn't wait to see Max's reaction when he tasted them.

When Max finally got his paws on the Magic Doggie Cookies, his reaction was priceless. He sniffed at them tentatively at first, then took a tentative bite. His tail immediately started wagging, and he devoured the rest of the cookie in seconds. I couldn't help but laugh at his enthusiasm, my heart swelling with love for my furry friend.

From that day on, the Magic Doggie Cookies became a regular treat for Max. Whenever I baked a batch, his eyes would light up with joy and he would follow me around the kitchen, his nose twitching with anticipation. I knew then that I had stumbled upon something truly special, a recipe that not only delighted my furry friend but also brought us closer together.

As the years passed, I shared the recipe for Magic Doggie Cookies with friends and family who had pets of their own. They, too, were amazed by the simple yet magical ingredients and the joy it brought to their furry companions. And so, the recipe spread far and wide, bringing happiness and love to pets all around the world.

Now, whenever I bake a batch of Magic Doggie Cookies, I can't help but think of the day I first discovered the recipe in Mrs. Jenkins' old cookbook. It was a moment of serendipity, a stroke of luck that brought me and Max closer together in ways I could have never imagined. And for that, I am forever grateful.
