2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil

~20-25 minutes for large muffins
All of the dogs that I have seen try these LOVED them. I got the recipe from a Golden Retriever get-together. All the dogs at the get-together were crazy for them. I made them later for a pit bull get-together, with mostly APBTs and a few Rotties and others, plus my Golden and my Terrier mix. Again, the dogs were crazy about them. If you do make these, I suggest using PAPER muffin/cupcake cups instead of foil, in case a dog gets ahold of one still in the wrapper- a few did at the Golden event! You can try them yourself, but the taste mixture (cheese and carrots) is a little odd, and of course there's no sugar...

- Baby Food Soft Doggie Cookies
3 (2 1/2 oz. each) jars of baby food; either beef or chicken
1/4 cup Dry milk powder
1/4 cup Wheat germ (cream of wheat can be substituted for wheat germ)
Combine ingredients in bowl and mix well. Roll into small balls and place on well-greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork. Bake in preheated 350F. oven for 15 minutes until brown. Cool on wire racks and STORE IN REFRIGERATOR. Also freezes well.
*Variation: substitute cream of wheat for wheat germ and then used tablespoon to make cookie sized drops on plate. Microwave for 4 minutes on Medium-High. Suggest keeping an eye on them in
microwave and perhaps start out for only 3 1/2 minutes. They do come out soft. Also suggested using Beef/Vegetable Dinner Baby Dinner instead of Beef or Chicken.
Tester's note: Definitely something to howl about! Cookies are soft and chewy (good for older pets who have lost a few teeth). And they can be whipped up in no time.

Let cool before giving to your dog. Refrigerate in a closed container. The reader said that several veterinarians whom she knew had approved these cookies as a treat for her "fat" dog. This recipe
originally appeared in a Los Angeles evening paper in the 1950's and was credited to "Alice."
