INGREDIENTS:
1 6-ounce can albacore tuna in water, undrained 2 tablespoons canned kidney beans 1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/3 cup grated mozzarella cheese 1 tablespoon goat's milk 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plain, unseasoned bread crumbs, for rolling out treats 1/4 cup flour, for rolling out treats



1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2 Place the tuna, kidney beans, and tomato paste in a food processor and puree to a coarse paste.
3 In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna paste with the cheese and goat's milk, mixing well.
4 Stir in the 1/2 cup flour. The dough will be sticky; add more flour if needed to handle the dough.
5 Mix the breadcrumbs and the 1/4 cup flour on a breadboard.
6 Roll out the dough on the bread crumbs and flour until the dough is about 1/4 inch thick, turning the dough several times so the dough is well covered.
7 Use a 1-inch cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. Place the cut-out cookies on a greased cookie sheet.
8 Score all cookies with a sharp knife, creating a + on each cookie.
9 Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the bottoms of the treats are reddish-golden brown.
10 Remove from the oven, let cool thoroughly, and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
11 Serve each cookie whole or break into smaller pieces along the scored lines.
