Preheat the oven to 375.
Bake for 25 minutes, then let sit for around 2 hours in oven with heat off.
Watch the video for the full step-by-step of the cookie recipe (and enjoy watching the Huskies eat the treats!)
It should be noted that Gone to the Snow Dogs cautions, “I’m neither a vet nor an animal nutritionist, so it’s advisable to consult with your own authority when trying new foods, and also to ensure that your dog’s home cooked diet is balanced and includes all of the nutrients that are necessary for your dog’s health. As with ALL treats, feed in moderation, and don’t feed anything to your dogs that you don’t feel comfortable feeding them. These are treats, not meal replacements.”
