So glad you like the recipe, Janice!

That’s wonderful, Christine! So glad your dog loved it. I just posted up a new treat recipe a few days ago you may want to try out as well. https://jacksonsjob.com/roxannes-cheese-crack-hers-dog-treats/

I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Andrea! Be sure to give your three grand dogs some extra pets from me and my crew. 🤗🐕🐕🐕🐾

The longer you bake them, the crunchier they will be. They are crunchy on the outside with a chewier center if you bake for minimum time.

Brenda, you can indeed substitute with coconut flour. You are right, 4 1/2 cups of flour is indeed a lot of flour! Rice flour doesn’t absorb the moisture as well as wheat flour so you have to compensate. You want to make the treats a drier dough so they can become crunchy and not mold as fast after being baked. Since there are no preservatives, moisture is the enemy of homemade dog treats.

You only have to add enough coconut flour to make a dough that you are comfortable working with when rolling out. You could drop the egg down to one egg and start out with just two cups of flour and work your way up until you get a dough that is no longer tacky and can be flattened out well without sticking to your rolling pin and work surface.

You can also just add enough flour (about a cups worth) and make these into “drop” cookies by dolloping them onto a baking tray and pressing them down with the back of the spoon (they will not spread much) baking for 12 – 15 minutes. But they will not last as long as they will have more moisture in them, maybe 2 – 4 days. I hope this helps!.
