Back when we first decided to keep Darwin our coworkers threw us a puppy shower and one of the gifts we received was a Three Dog Bakery Cookbook.

For Christmas I decided to make some cookies for Darwin's friends and used one of the recipes from this cookbook. Remi's mom asked for the recipe we used so I thought I'd share it with all our blogging friends. It was a super quick and easy recipe and I like the fact that I knew what Darwin and her friends were snacking on.

Simple Simon's Birthday Bones
adapted from Three Dog Bakery Cookbook
makes 30 large bones

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup skim milk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix peanut butter and milk. Add wet mixture to dry, and mix well.
Turn out dough on a lightly floured surface and knead.  Roll out to 1/4 inch thick and cut shapes.
Place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool on rack then store in an airtight container.

It's a great cookbook with lots of recipes for cookies and cakes and "real" food like meat loaf and lasagna.  Darwin's 1 year birthday is coming up next month and I'll probably make cupcakes for her and her friends with a recipe from this book.
