As you all know, I have two fur babies that I love to death!!  And with the holidays quickly approaching, I had to do a little baking for them.  A long time ago I found this recipe online (via Betty Crocker) and decided now was the time to give it a go.  Homemade Paw Print Dog Treats with carob chips and peanut butter?  Your dogs will be barking with holiday cheer!

I’ll be honest and say that I was extremely intimidated by this recipe.  The perfectionist in me said, “Don’t do it, Kel.”  Do you know how those pep talks seem to go?!?  Haha.

I learned that using the cap of a sharpie marker worked great from the smaller ‘pads’ of the paw and my pointer finger thumbprint worked perfectly for the larger one.  Until you get into the groove of the piping into small areas, expect to ruin a few treats.

No biggy, plus the dogs want to eat them, not stare at them, right?  My boys loved them.  I’ll be gifting a few to their neighborhood pals too. Woof-woof!

Gently tap the cookies on the cooling rack or counter for topping to fill the indents. Allow cookies to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour or until carob mixtures are set.

      Do you think using white rice flour will make a big difference?

    Hello, where do you buy your carob chips? I have looked everywhere for them and yogurt chips!

      Hi Terri πŸ™‚ I found mine at a Whole Foods store — or you can buy them on Amazon. I hope that helps.

    I found a site that sells both carob and yogurt chips. My next question is, I should buy the unsweetened ones? Sorry to bother you, but I am sure my grandpuppies will be better off without excess sugar . Thank you!

    Dogs can not have chocolate so might I suggest that if you make these for your dog that you exclude the chocolate so they don’t get sick or worse. I’m a dog lover as well and I never give my dog chocolate and advise you to not give any either because I want all pet owners to have a long and happy long life with there little fury friends!

    We have a black lab/border collie which will be 10 yrs.old early Nov. We got him at a year old at Pet Smart adoption event. Our cat is about 18 according to our vet. here who was from MT where we lived before CO. He’s an orange striped kitty who showed up in our yard in KY one Saturday so he stayed after making it clear I could be his Mom. I thought he was a girl so called him Molly but vet in KY, (could her cats screaming, bumping floor at night, fighting). let me know he was a male so then was known as Monty. There were several orange striped kittens under our house which would come out when we were out on back deck. Monty has always been a great cat, stays around our place out in rural area few miles west of Grand Junction, CO. If we tell him to stay on front porch when we’re leaving he’s there when we come back. Is quite smart and obeys, comes when we call him. He trained himself to go in potty box. We hadn’t had a cat for many years when he showed up. We are exceptionally attached to him and him to us as our dog is. Gotta have those furry kids.Also have 4 chickens which were given to us by daughters neighbor few years ago. They are such a hoot, enjoy watching them, such personalities. Don’t have a rooster,never wanted one. Fur babies are so sweet ,our dog is very affectionate, so is cat. Dog tries to herd the chickens sometimes.
    Good luck with your trailer, we had a 24 ft. self contained. One time in Mt in the winter lived in it while waiting for our new double wide. Travel trailer had bunks in middle, were handy for storing clothes, etc. We lived in it for few months at a time a few times. I loved it. Easy to keep clean, quick. Harder in winter with heavier clothes,more of them, hard to find places to keep them. Our first winter here was spent at KOA in G.J. for 10 months til we rented a place. I miss my trailer so much. Have fun in your trailer. Happy weekend Printed out two of your pet cookies recipes .Dog loves peanut butter.
