Imagine a crisp afternoon when the air carries a hint of fall and leaves begin to turn gold. You’ve got a hot cup of tea and the gentle aroma of these parsley and cheese treats baking in the oven.

It’s a moment of pure coziness, knowing you’re creating something special for your loyal companion.

The best part about making these biscuits is how simple and enjoyable the process is. You’ll start by mixing up a dough that’s easy to work with – no fancy equipment needed, just a bowl, spoon, and a bit of love.

The dough comes together with a lovely blend of parsley and cheese, which not only adds flavor but also brightens the treats. Parsley is fantastic for dog’s breath, and cheese is a treat most dogs can’t resist.

As you roll out the dough, you can get creative with shapes. Use cookie cutters if you have them, or cut the dough into squares or rectangles. There’s something comforting about rolling and cutting dough, especially when you know it will make your dog’s tail wag with excitement.

Once the biscuits are in the oven, the waiting begins. But the waiting is filled with anticipation, knowing you’ll be able to share a moment of joy with your dog soon.

The treats bake up golden and crisp with a tempting aroma that’s sure to have your pup eagerly waiting by your side.

After the dog biscuits cooled, it’s time for the real reward: seeing the look of pure happiness on your dog’s face as they enjoy their homemade treat.

These cheese and parsley treats are more than just a snack – they’re a way to nurture the bond you share with your furry friend. In the spirit of cozy living, these simple, heartfelt gestures bring warmth to our homes and happiness to those we love.

So the next time you want to add extra coziness to your day, why not try baking a batch of parsley and cheese dog treats?

Your dog will thank you!

I found the recipe for these cheese and parsley treats in the book Gifts from the Garden. The only change made was the amount of chicken broth, as the original recipe didn’t have enough to make the dough.

Ingredients

A large bunch of fresh parsley, about 2 cups, finely chopped (including stalks)

1 large carrot, grated

1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

3/4 cup chicken broth

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Stir together the parsley, carrot, and cheese in a large bowl. Add in the oil and mix until thoroughly combined.

4. Add the whole wheat flour to the parsley mixture and mix with your hands until well combined.

5. Gradually add the chicken stock until you have a good, stiff dough. You may not have to use all of the chicken broth. Knead the mixture together gently with your hands.

6. Dust your surface space with flour and roll out the dough until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out the dog biscuits using a cookie cutter or knife. Knead any trimmings together, roll them out, and repeat the procedure until all the dough is used.

7. Lay the raw dog treats on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing each treat from the others.

8. Bake the treats for about 25 minutes until the biscuits are hard to the touch and turning golden brown around the edges. Cool on a wire rack.

9. Store in an airtight container. The biscuits will keep for up to two weeks.
