Puppy Cookies and Gratuitous Cuteness

Ok, so I might be that parent. Plenty of parents I know, whether they have human children or puppy children, flood the internet with cute pictures. And dull pictures. And pictures that look exactly like previous pictures. And I used to think "wow, I won't do that." But I take it back. It must be expressed to the internet how cute my puppy is. So here, world: a video I took of Berwyn waking up. And yes, I woke him up for this purpose simply because he was so cute while he was sleeping. The cuteness, it's rotting my brain.
Now, I promised a recipe. This is a recipe I like to make for Christmas to give away to all the puppies in my family. (Shout out to Esme, Charlie, Abby, Maddie, Sophie and Angel!) There are cats in the family, too, but I really don't have a recipe that's guaranteed to please cats. This is probably because most cats are not pleased by anything except our quiet and distant worship of them. Silly biscuits are for mouth-breathers, they say. Anyway, every dog I ever give these to is very, very excited about them. And I have checked out the recipe for dog safety. So here goes.

Puppy Cookies
Mix together the following: 1 1/2 c. four, 3/4 c. oatmeal, 1/4 c. wheat germ, 1/3 c. peanut butter, 1/4 c. vegetable oil, 2 T. honey, 1/2 t. baking powder, 1/2 c. water.
Roll dough about 1/2 inch think. Cut into desired shapes.
Mix together one large egg and 2 T. milk. Brush on top of cookies.
Bake at 275 for 30 minutes. Rotate pan and bake another 30 minutes until golden brown and firm.
Notes: For Christmas I cut them into festive shapes like stars and trees but this time I had a great idea. Since I needed a bunch of them in small bites, I just cut the dough into strips and perforated them with a knife. When they cooled, I broke them into little bite-sized squares. Now I can easily give them out to reinforce good behavior. Berwyn loves them. But he loves everything.

Now some more cute pictures of my puppy child.
