Cookies for Kitties!

Treat your kitty to some homemade, meaty, catnippy  treats!

Please Note: While all these ingredients can be found in several different cat food recipes online, there are also message boards that suggest some of the ingredients are not recommended.  Whenever introducing a new food, give a small quantity and keep an eye on them to make sure they do not have any kind of reaction.  See the ASPCA site for more information.

Step 1:

Now first, let's pretend that baking for a cat is not a weird spinsteresque thing to do.  Then get together the following ingredients, a blender or food processor, mixing bowls/spoons, a spatula, a baking sheet and cookie cutters.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 6 oz Chicken, cooked
• 6 oz Beef, cooked
• 1/4 Sweet potato, baked
• 1/8 cup Catnip
• 2 Eggs
• 2 oz Greek yogurt
• 3 Tbs Wheat germ
• 2 Tbs Coconut oil
• 1 Tbs Molasses
• 1 Tbs Almond oil

Directions

1. In a blender or food processor, mix oils, molasses, eggs, yogurt and sweet potato
2. Next blend in cooked beef and chicken (this was not an appealing step as a vegetarian and I washed my blender several times afterwards! But kitties need meat, so what can you do?)
3. Pour out contents of the blender into a mixing bowl and mix in coconut flour and wheat germ (Dough will be crumbly, but will still stick together)

Step 2:

Directions Cont.

• Preheat oven to 350^oF
• Working with 1/2 cup of dough at a time, roll dough out to about 1/4" (Due to the aforementioned crumbliness, dough is not very elastic)
• Cut out shapes or mold into mice/fish/bird shapes!
• Brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with catnip
• Bake for 15 - 18 minutes

Allow to thoroughly cool and surprise your cat with an after meal cookie or two : )

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
