Anzac Biscuit Dog Treat Recipe

DIY 24 Apr

Anzac Biscuits are a hundred year old tradition in Australia. This easy to make sweet treat was sent from homes to Australian and New Zealand soldiers (ANZACS) serving in World War I. In celebration of Anzac Day this year, I decided to make a dog friendly version just for your pup!

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/4 Cups Wholemeal Flour
1 Cup Rolled Oats
3/4 Cups Desiccated Coconut
3 Tablespoons Golden Syrup
250g Applesauce

TO MAKE:
1. Preheat oven to 175C. Line a flat baking tray with baking paper.
2. Combine flour, oats and coconut in a bowl.
3. Mix the applesauce and golden syrup in a separate bowl, then add to the dry ingredients. Mix together until fully combined.
4. Scoop out bite sized pieces with a spoon and roll into little balls, and place on lined tray. Flatten each cookie with the back of a fork.
5. Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Place on baking rack to cool.

HANDY HINTS!
* Makes 16 Anzac Biscuits
* Golden Syrup can be interchanged with treacle.

As a long time fan of the Black and White cookie, I knew when I decided on a Black and White theme for Soda’s birthday there was one sweet treat I wanted to make for the occasion.

Enter the Black and White Cookie Dog Treat Recipe. Made of human grade ingredients, it’s the perfect special occasion snack for your furry friend. The best part? They’re a breeze to make. Jerry Seinfeld would be proud.

50g Plain Yogurt Drops

TO MAKE:

COOKIES
1. Preheat oven to 175C. Line a flat baking tray with baking paper.
2. Whisk egg and vegetable oil in a bowl.
3. Add the rice flour to the wet ingredients and mix well to form a dough.
4. Roll dough onto floured surface to approximately 1/4 inch thickness.
5. Using a large round cookie cutter, cut out the cookies and place on lined baking tray. Repeat until dough is finished.
6. Bake cookies for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Place on baking rack to cool.

ICING
1. Melt the yogurt drops in a small heat safe bowl over boiling water.
2. Once melted use a spatula to spread over one half of each cookie. Allow to set.
