Pork Liver CookiesContributed by: Joyce & Aonghas MacLeoid Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. This is a variation of Ann Wynyard's Homemade Dog Biscuits as found on page 81 of The Tibetan Spaniel Handbook by Jeanne Holsapple and Ann Wynyard.
In a pot on the stove, simmer liver until tender (about 15 to 20 min). Remove from heat, and chop finely (I do all the mixing in the food processor). add the rest of the ingredients and blend. add enough of the simmering water to make a dough. roll or pat onto a GREASED cookie sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 to 30 min. Turn the sheet of cookies onto a bread board and cut into approx. 1 inch squares. Divide the batch into zip lock bags and freeze about 1/2 of the batch. These must be kept in the fridge. They have no preservatives and will turn blue at room temperature. Once you have given these to your dogs, there is no going back to store bought. The dogs will sit in front of the oven and will not believe that peering through the little window will not make them bake any faster. Be prepared to be hounded (sorry) once you start boiling the liver until they get the first taste of the new batch.
