ShihtzuBeauty 47 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hello. In one of your posts you mentioned making cookies for Chipper out of oats, apples, carrots and sweet potatoes. You said that Trudy liked them too? With JoJo's new allergy issue I want to really watch Everything that goes into his and the girls's mouths. Can you write down that recipe for me here? Thank you.

Sally 1 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Here you go. You don't have to add the nuts, I put some walnuts in, not many. These are kind of moist when done. Trudy loves them. 1 whole cooked sweet potatoe all mashed up 3 bananas all mashed up 1 can of organic baby food 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 cup of your choice of nuts (we used almonds and walnuts today) 3 cups of oats Step 1. Mix ingredients Step 2. Make little balls, smaller for little fids, bigger for big fids. Set them on a baking pan. Step 3. Pop them in a 350 degree oven for ten minutes.

ShihtzuBeauty 47 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I just have to tell all of ya that my kids LOVE these cookies. I'm going to have to start making double batches. I gave some to my sisters Jack and she loved them too. Thanks again Sally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sally 1 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Glad they like them! I think Sweet potatoes are so good for them. Trudy loves just plain old cooked sweet potato! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BusterBoo 4 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I don't think sweet potatoes are that common in my area. I haven't seen them at the local grocery store but maybe if I went to a Fruit and Veggie store they might have them? Besides the regular potatoes, we occasionally get Yams, but mostly around Christmas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ShihtzuBeauty 47 Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 :lol: Honestly though they were soo easy to make and I just store them in an airtight container and they are keeping really well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShihtzuBeauty 47 Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Well I noticed today that the cookies that I made started to get some mold on them. I had them stored in an air-tight container. Maybe I should refrigerate them? I pitched these I'll make new ones this wknd. Boy were the kids mad when I pitched them! I had to cut up a banana so they would leave me alone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This sounds good enough for me to eat. I'm sure my furkids will love them. I'll have to go shopping this weekend. What kind of organic baby food are you suggesting? I don't have a clue. Need your help on this one. Why do you put nuts in your cookies? Are they also good for dogs to eat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShihtzuBeauty 47 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I just bought the Gerber in a jar organic but I didn't add the nuts. I tried keeping these in the cabinet in an airtight container but they went bad after a wk. so make sure you ziplock them and put them in the refridgerator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ziggynemo 1 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Because the homemade treats have no preservatives, they do tend to get moldy quicker. I keep some out for the boys and freeze the rest for later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ellie 0 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I'll have to try this recipe also. Sophie & Chloe love their treats. Thanks for sharing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing I did different, was that since I made them for Christmas gifts for our dogs & other family dogs, I used a very small bone cookie cutter. I didn't think it would work at first, but with a little patience, I succeeded! I baked them a little longer to dry them out more for longer storage & so they weren't so fragile, seeing they were in bone shapes. The extras, I store in the freezer. Our nephews lab liked them so much, they asked for the recipe. So again, Sally!!! Nancy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kell&Leo 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Oooh! Recipe looks great Sally. I'm gonna try making them this weekend. My fiance already thinks I'm a nut for making my tzu's homemade doggie chicken stew, now oatmeal cookies only for the dogs.. he'll be real jealous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emmasmom 14 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Ah, heck, just give the hubby one to try....My hubby did! LOL!! He said if I added a little sugar, you'd never know they were a doggie recipe! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kell&Leo 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 emmasmom, LOL! Did you use a bone shaped cookie cutter so your husband would know they weren't for him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emmasmom 14 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I sure did....he still wanted to taste test! He said he had to make sure they were good enough for Emma. This is the same guy who didn't really want a small dog! Yeah, right! LOL!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shihtzumomof2 11 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I'm going to make these too. They sound great. I can't imagine that a human couldn't eat them also...its all peope food! Yum! I just need to find something that Kylie likes better than her poo! I'm at my wits end with her and that poo stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emmasmom 14 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I'm lucky in that respect. Emma has never tried eating her poo! Thank goodness! But I can almost gaurantee they will love these cookies. In fact, I need to make more! Was going to start them now, but as I just posted on another area, Emma just got stung, so I want to keep a close eye on her for awhile! Our lab had to be rushed to the vet for this when a pup.

AmyNavy319 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 What flavor baby food do you use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emmasmom 14 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I used pears, but you could use any kind, I would think! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janemin 5 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Made some Shu cookies this morning,& wanted to ask if there is any difference between a yam & a sweet potato.SORRY Guys I,m a Limee at heart at really don't know much about this kind of potato,anyway I had to get a Yam as they didn't have Sweet Potatoes.Also are they supposed to be soft & chewy or crunchy.I,m not sure if I cooked them long enough. It doesn't seem to bother the munchkins as they devoured one as soon as they cooled.They've now planted their butts in the kitchen Hoping that one might accidentally drop.

emmasmom 14 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Picklepie baked them longer to dry them out. Just till they start to brown a little. This makes them store a little better also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toby the Lion Dog 0 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Mmm, this recipe makes MY mouth water. But then again, [i]somebody[/i] did eat all MY cookies so I'm a little cookie-deprived. Next time we going shopping I'll be sure to pick up the ingredients we don't have. Is it best to use a fruity baby food? Just making sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
