Happy Holidays to all ! – Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits Recipe
Everyone is so busy, shopping, cooking and cleaning. But let’s not forget our pups! Make this homemade dog biscuits recipe for them. They divinely deserve it.
Dog Biscuits Recipe
The holidays are always about hustling and bustling at work, around the house, hectic mall and preparing for the family feasts, large and small. This year has been especially chaotic for us and we found ourselves feeling awfully guilty about neglecting the pups. Long days at work have taken away from all the play and dog walking time. Sierra and Dante watch us as we stumble through the door, with tired feet and voices. But now matter how much energy we’re lacking in, they make up for it with grand enthusiasm when we come home. Or maybe they were just hungry for this dog biscuits recipe.
No matter how draining a long work day has been, seeing their energy and happiness when we come home is revitalizing. A dogs love and loyalty is priceless.
For Christmas, we do all we can to make it up to them and to thank them for being such loving companions and friends. We forget and forgive all of the torn shoes and pillows Sierra chomped through, and Dante’s food-stealing-late-night-snoring antics are easily overlooked. We love our pups, no matter how shoeless and sleepless they leave us. They are our family.
So for Christmas all dogs deserve homemade dog biscuits. They’re made from fresh ingredients and are so simple to make that your dogs will love you for life! This homemade dog biscuits recipe are a variation off of our flax seed dog biscuits. With the addition of peanut butter that dogs love so much, they devour these peanut butter biscuits in seconds! Show your dogs how much you love them and bake them the best peanut butter dog biscuits in the world! Well, at least Dante and Sierra think they’re the best!
“oh we love peanut butter biscuit treats!”

Merry Christmas friends!
lots of love to you all,
todd, diane, dante & sierra
Your pups might also love these homemade flax seed dog biscuits.
Here’s our favorite cutter sets. Obviously they have many uses beyond puppy treats, but ours tend to see a lot of action in that department. We love how all of these sets store, ’cause nothing drives us nuts more than messy kitchen drawers:
Peanut Butter Dog Biscuit Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups Whole Wheat Flour (340g)
- 2 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour (340g)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt (5g)
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup Peanut Butter (225g)
- 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil (80ml)
- 1 cup Water (240ml)
Instructions
- Combine flours and salt in a mixing bowl. Add eggs and peanut butter and mix until incorporated.
- Mix in oil. Next add enough water until dough is smooth and workable. Cover the dough and set aside for 15-20 min. to relax.
- Preheat oven to 375º F & line a couple baking sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Roll out dough to about 3/8"-1/2" thick. Cut to desired shaped then put on sheet pans.
- Bake for approx. 40-50 minutes or until biscuits are slightly browned, fairly hard, and cooked through (they will harden a touch more when cool.) Set aside to cool then treat the pups liberally.
Stop it! I can’t take the pup pictures. The faces, those juicy jaws… Okay, don’t stop — I have to get my boxer fix somehow now that ours is in pup heaven. 🙂
Dawn- aww, thanks. Boxers are great dogs and Sierra is so loveable!
the pictures of your dogs are adorable!!!!!!!
This year we had our dogs posing with santa in his sleigh. Dogs really are the best even when they are acting up.
Nicole- posing your dogs with santa and his sleigh sounds adorable! We wanna see!
OK, I’m a hardened reporter. Or was before I read this and disappeared into a puddle of dog love. Someone please reconstitute me.
I know that feeling of guilt- when you have been gone all day knowing that your dog is patiently (or not so patiently) awaiting your return. The great thing is that dogs seem to have endless love for us no matter what. They may get put out occasionally, but overall they are hopelessly devoted. Especially when you make delicious treats for them. Good move!
woof! happy holidays!
Aww…they are so cute patiently waiting for their treats =). Oscar would love a batch of these in his stocking! Happy holidays from Mr. B and I, and may 2010 be a great year for you both.
I want to make these, and I don’t even have a dog — they look reasonably healthful, not too sweet, lots of peanutty flavor. I figure if you cut them into little hearts instead of little bones, nobody’ll know the difference.
Tamar- Humans can eat these too! although they’re not as sweet and the texture is tougher, all the ingredients are natural and healthy. Go for it and make yourself a batch! 😉
Love that photo! What in the world did you say to get them to sit there so perfectly still….and looking right at you, ignoring their treats?
Awww … look at those cute, faces! They are absolutely adorable!! And those biscuits are so sweet … if it weren’t for the peanut butter (allergic unfortunately) I wouldn’t mind grabbing a couple myself 😉
Dante and Sierra are such awesome pups. And yes, once a pup, always a pup. Ask ours 🙂
I trust that you had a wonderful Christmas and hope that you were able to catch some rest.
gosh, i misspelled your names in my comment above – both of you! sorry. must be all the booze… from the fruitcake…
anyways; happy holidays!
Chika- no worries! happy holidays to you !
Helloooo Dianne and Tod,
I’m amazed that you managed to take the lead photo here – the pups sit there utterly patiently with those yummy-looking treats right in front of them! lol. Besides, the cookies look (and sound) soo good, making me wonder if I can eat them, too…? 😉
I’ve had big fun following your adventures and daily murmurs along with gorgeous photos here, and it was wonderful meeting you both in person in Tokyo. Hope you are having great time over the holidays – and come back here all recharged and refreshed! -c x
Found another recipe in your comments, so posted about that, and linked your two (which I plan to make soon). Thank you

The pictures with Dante and Sierra are just too cute. You could sell posters!
Merry Christmas!
Pam – We’re not 100% sure, but are pretty certain that these biscuits are kitty friendly too! You never know about cats! 😉 Happy Holidays to you!
My kitty cats want to know where their treats are!
Merry Christmas!
