DIY Smiley Face Dog Cookies

It's Monday, so that means it's Make a Treat Monday!  I actually stumbled upon this cookie recipe on www.best-dog-treat-recipes.com and I made these for my dog a week and a half ago.  My dog ate the whole thing in just three days!  I hope your dog enjoys them as well.  Let me know if they like them, too.  Without further adieu, here is the recipe.

Smiley Face Homemade Dog Cookies

1 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil or coconut oil
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1 cup oat flour
1 1/2 tsp. dry baking yeast
2 tbs. parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese powder
2 tbs. soy bacon bits or real bacon bits or pieces
1 tbs. turmeric powder
1 tbs. dry milk

*  Place all the ingredients in your bread machine or mix in a heavy duty mixer with a dough hook.
*  Set the bread maker for the dough cycle.
*  When the dough is finished, remove it and divide it into thirds.
*  Roll each ball of dough into a sheet that is 1/4" thick.
*  Cut circles that are about 1 1/2" to 2" in diameter.  You could use a biscuit cutter for this or you could use a small glass.  Dip the cutter or glass in flour in between cuts so that the dough does not stick to it.
*  Place the smiley face circles on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
*  Put puppy dog food circles on each face where the eyes should be.
*  Taking a sharp knife, gently cut the smile into each circle face.
*  Bake the dog treats for about one hour at 275-300 degrees.  Check frequently to make sure that they do not get too brown.
*  Turn off the oven and let the dog cookies dry in the oven for several hours or overnight.  When completely done, the cookies will be dry and snappy crisp.

Note:  You can store these homemade dog cookies at room temperature for several months.  But I am willing to bet that they will not last that long, because your dog is sure to love them.
