Pooch kisses are wonderful things. They’re smile inducing and incredibly
therapeutic.....but sometimes those kisses can be really stinky.
Luckily I love gardening and thanks to all the sun that’s
been pouring through my windows this summer, my indoor herb garden has been
growing and growing and growing.
This inspired an idea and after a little online digging,
Bear and I have perfected the ultimate Mint-Kiss Dog cookie.
The leaves of
a mint plant have a sweet aromatic and fresh smell. Once the leaves are crushed
or cut, they release even more of that pleasing aroma – this will transfer to
your pooch’s stinky breath and help keep it fresh. Of course, please
note that these Mint-Kisses are NOT considered a cure for your pup’s stinky
kisses. If bad breath persists, you may
want to consider speaking to your vet about proper teeth/mouth cleaning
routines.
Ingredients:
1
cup stone ground yellow cornmeal
1
tbsp vegetable oil
3/4
cup chicken broth (low or no sodium is best)
1
egg
1
tbsp grated cheddar cheese
2
tbsp minced fresh mint
Instructions:
Preheat
oven to 350° F.
Measure
cornmeal into a small bowl.
In
a sauce pan, bring the vegetable oil and chicken broth to a boil.
Remove
pan from the heat and stir in the cornmeal.
Scoop
the cornmeal mixture into a small bowl.
Allow
the mixture to cool to the touch.
Spray
the baking sheet with a non-stick cooking spray.
Once
the cornmeal mixture is cool to the touch, stir in the egg, cheddar cheese and
fresh mint.
Shape
into 1” to 1 ½ “ balls. Or, scoop with a 1 "
cookie scooper.
Flatten
balls into cookie shapes.
Bake
for 30 minutes.
Turn
off the oven and let the cookies cool and continue to dry in the oven for one
hour.
This recipe makes 15, 2 inch (approximately)
Kisses.
The
mint dog kisses will last for 1 week in a air tight container, 3 weeks in the
refrigerator and 3 months in the freezer.
