35 1-inch cookies


INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup high-quality dry cat food 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 large egg 1/4 cup beef broth
1/4 cup flour, for rolling out treats



1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2 In a mixing bowl, combine the first flour ingredients, mixing well.
3 Add the egg and beef broth, mixing well.
4 Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup flour on a breadboard. Roll out the dough in the flour until it is 1/4 inch thick.
5 Use a 1-inch cookie cutter to cut out the cookies.
6 Place the cut-out cookies on a greased cookie sheet.
7 Score all cookies with a sharp knife, creating a + on each cookie.
8 With a spoon, carefully drop a few drops of beef broth on the top of each cookie.
9 Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the bottoms of the treats are just turning golden brown.
10 Remove from the oven, let cool thoroughly, and store in an airtight container.
11 Serve as a 1-inch cookie or break each cookie into four pieces along the scored lines.
CRUNCHIER TREATS: If your cat loves crunchier treats, when all the cookies have been baked, turn off the oven. Place all the cookies back on a cookie sheet and return them to the oven. Leave the cookies in the cooling oven for several hours or overnight.
CHICKEN COOKIES: If your cat loves chicken, substitute chicken broth for the beef broth.
BACON COOKIES: If your cat loves bacon, use water in the recipe instead of beef broth. Prior to baking, dip a few drops of bacon grease on the top of each cookie.
TUNA COOKIES: For tasty tuna cookies, use the water drained from a can of tuna packed in water in place of the beef broth.
SALMON COOKIES: For a salmon-loving kitty, use the juice from a can of salmon in place of the beef broth.
LOW-SALT BOUILLON COOKIES: For cats who must adhere to a low-sodium diet, use low-salt bouillon (beef or chicken) in place of the beef broth.
