This recipe comes from my friend Lora, who likes to cut hers in the shape of dachshunds. While the thought of her little pooch scarfing down his fellow mutts without a care in the world cracks me up, the shapes make it a bit confusing for us hungry humans. The first time I saw a bag of these treats on her desk, I mistakingly thought they were cookies and had just about shoved one into my pie hole when she let me know they were dog biscuits. This didn't stop Little Scarlet however. She does not discriminate when it comes to biscuits of any kind and likes them all most as much as our friends' doggies do.
