Instructions:
-
Mix Cheese, Oil, and Applesauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and unsweetened applesauce. Stir until well mixed, creating a creamy base for your treats.
-
Incorporate Veggies and Flour: Add the minced garlic and both types of flour to the cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated. This will form a dough-like consistency.
-
Add Milk: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture comes together to form a ball. You’ll need approximately 1/4 cup of milk for this step. The milk helps bind the ingredients together.
-
Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least half an hour. Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and roll out.
-
Roll Out the Dough: Once chilled, transfer the dough to a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/8-inch thickness using a rolling pin. The flour prevents sticking and ensures a smooth rolling process.
-
Cut Into Shapes: Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut the rolled-out dough into desired shapes. This adds a fun touch to your treats and makes them visually appealing for your furry pals.
-
Bake the Treats: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the cut-out treats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the treats to cool completely on a wire rack before serving them to your eager pups. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for freshness.
These Tail Waggin’ Cheese & Veggie Treats are bound to be a hit with your furry companions! Enjoy watching them wag their tails in excitement as they indulge in these delicious homemade snacks.
