Apple Cranberry

Apple Cranberry Dog Treat/Biscuit Recipe DoggyDessertChef.com
While baking these apple cranberry treats several cranberries fell to the floor and Big B darted in grabbing a couple. He carried them to his bed and took his first bite, then I saw the rest rolling across the floor … I’ve finally found something he wont scarf down.
He did love the treats, he just had to wait for the baking to be done before he could enjoy his cranberries!

    Is there something else I can use to substitute instead of milk?

    You can use almond milk or water. I hope that helps Kathy. Woof!

    I did not think the dough was good for cookie cutters. I tried plastic & metal, and didn’t like how either came out. On the bright side, I ended up just doing drop cookies, they came out great! Dogs loved them! I honestly, tried a couple… Bland but not bad.

    Great idea. Cranberries are very good for Goldens as they tend to get UTIs the first year of their lives. Thanks for sharing! I am going to try these right away

    What can I use instead of fresh Cranberries… I can only get dried ones here and as a complete dog cookie rookie I have no idea what can I use as a substitution…

    Dried would work just fine Iva, just skip the puree part and mix with the other ingredients. Woof!

    Since dried cranberries can be used, what should the measurement be? Still a cup?

    Id like to make this recipe dairy free and as well add coconut oil. What do you suggest i replace the milk with as I am a novice baker or lack there of. Could the milk be replaced with eggs?
    thanks

    My dough is a little tough to use with cookie cutters, I just cut into strips and that worked great!
    My new love is making homemade doggie treats!
