Summer Time Dog Cookies

Today I did a make-shift dog cookie recipe. It turned out pretty nice and was met with great response from the dogs that ate it. (Zane, Janie, Jackson, Alex, and Mocha so far) They are a great summertime cookie and are very healthy and a way to use those strawberries!

Makes approximately 30 Half Dollar sized cookies:

8oz Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour [wheat, dairy, & gluten free]
(http://www.vitacost.com/Bobs-Red-Mill-Gluten-Free-All-Purpose-Baking-Flour-22-oz)
2oz Wheat Germ
2oz Thick Rolled Oats
2tsp Flax Meal
1/3 cup Organic Peanut Butter [no sugar, oil, or salt added]
2 tbsp Clover Honey
4 oz Olive Oil
1 Medium Egg
5 Large Strawberries-chopped (may be better if they are slightly dehydrated)

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl (beware, very sticky mixture). Don't over mix, lumpy is ideal. Lightly grease a cookie sheet, and make small half dollar sized flattened dough. Set the oven to 350 degrees, and once preheated bake for 13-17 minutes or until golden brown.

The one issue I had with these cookies are that I didn't add an egg so they crumbled easily, and also that the strawberries were so fresh and moist that they tended to make the cookies a little softer where they were. But the dogs didn't mind!
