Holiday Treats For Furry Friends
With the fast approach of the holidays, I’m ready to dive in and start baking. I can spend hours in my kitchen whipping up sugar cookies and gingerbread men then decorating the delicious desserts with red and green sugar crystals.
However, my baked goods aren’t just limited to humans. My favorite treats to make is for my dogs. After all, they are my best friends. And nothing makes me happier than giving my girls a reward that makes their tail’s wag and has them barking for more.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
- Beat eggs in a large bowl. Stir in milk, water, salt, and bacon fat until well blended. Gradually stir in flour to make a stiff dough. Pinch off pieces of the dough and roll into 2 inch balls or cut out into cute shapes – I use a bone shaped cookie cutter. Place on prepared baking sheet.
