Cats and dogs love to snack on a tasty cookie almost as much as we do, so to celebrate National Cookie Day here are recipes for treats that are sure to please your four-legged companions. 

Bake some up today for a special surprise or bundle them up as edible gifts to put in their Christmas stockings.
 
Simplest Dog Biscuits:
This recipe is from Tasty Treats for Demanding Dogs. It is just about the easiest dog cookie around and you probably have the ingredients in your kitchen. 
3 cups whole-wheat flour
½ cup nonfat dry milk
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
1 large egg
¾ cup beef or chicken broth
 
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Lightly grease two cookie sheets
  3. In a large bowl, using a fork or wire whisk, blend the flour and dry milk. Cut in the shortening.
  4. In a small bowl, using a fork beat the egg and broth together until smooth.
  5. Using a large spoon, combine the two mixes until a soft dough forms. (Add more broth if the mixture is too dry)
  6. Roll the dough onto a floured flat surface until it is ¼ inch thick. Use a 1 ½ -inch cookie cutter to cut as many cookies as you can, reworking the scraps as you go.
  7. Place the cookies side by side on the cookie sheets. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cookies look very dry and golden brown.
  8. Remove the trays from the oven and let the cookies cool to room temperature. Turn off the oven.
  9. When the cookies have cooled completely, put them all on one tray and return them to the cooling oven. Let them remain in the oven in the “off” position for 8 hours.
 
8oz. tuna in oil
2 cups cornmeal
2 cups flour
¾ cup water
2/3 cup vegetable oil
½ teaspoon salt
 
  1. Mix the all of the ingredients in a large bowl until it becomes a stick dough.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  3. Roll the dough on a flour flat surface to approx. ¼ inches thick. 
  4. Cut dough into squares or with a cookie cutter.
  5. Place cookies onto a large greased cookie sheet.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool.
