What better way to show your love than to make your furry baby some homemade treats? In addition to being cheaper than store-bought treats, your homemade treats will be healthier and so much tastier. Try this quick and easy recipe for Peanut Butter Dog Treats. **Ingredients** 2 cups flour ½ cup plain peanut butter (make sure it doesn’t have the sweetener Xylitol) 2 eggs ¼ water **Instructions** Preheat oven to 350° F. In a large bowl, mix flour, peanut butter, and eggs. Add water a little at a time until the mixture forms a soft dough. Roll out your dough to about ¼ inch thick. Cut out shapes using cookie cutters or a thick shot glass. Transfer cookies to a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until the bottoms are a little dark. Let them cool for about an hour until they’re hard as crackers. ### Recommended Articles ### Search by Topic - [advice for members (20)](https://blog.lonestarcu.org/topic/advice-for-members) - [Managing Your Money (17)](https://blog.lonestarcu.org/topic/managing-your-money) - [Saving Money (8)](https://blog.lonestarcu.org/topic/saving-money) - [Saving for the Future (6)](https://blog.lonestarcu.org/topic/saving-for-the-future) - [Holiday Advice (5)](https://blog.lonestarcu.org/topic/holiday-advice) - [Fraud Protection (4)](https://blog.lonestarcu.org/topic/fraud-protection) - [In the Community (2)](https://blog.lonestarcu.org/topic/in-the-community) - [Making a Big Purchase (2)](https://blog.lonestarcu.org/topic/making-a-big-purchase) - [Scams (2)](https://blog.lonestarcu.org/topic/scams) - [Home Equity (1)](https://blog.lonestarcu.org/topic/home-equity) ### LSCU News: ### Subscribe to Email Updates [Bank with Lone Star Credit Union](https://www.lonestarcu.org/member-services/become-a-member/) and benefit from a variety of financial services – including [checking](https://www.lonestarcu.org/banking/checking/) and [savings accounts](https://www.lonestarcu.org/banking/savings-certificates/savings-accounts/), [debit cards,](https://www.lonestarcu.org/banking/checking/debit-cards/) and [member discounts](https://www.lonestarcu.org/member-services/member-discounts/) – while enjoying great [rates](https://www.lonestarcu.org/resources/rates/) on [auto loans](https://www.lonestarcu.org/borrowing/auto-loans/), [credit cards](https://www.lonestarcu.org/borrowing/visa-credit-card-options/), [personal loans,](https://www.lonestarcu.org/borrowing/personal-loans/) and more.  [Dallas, TX](https://www.lonestarcu.org/about-us/locations-atms/dallas-branch/) | [Greenville, TX](https://www.lonestarcu.org/about-us/locations-atms/greenville-branch/) | [Terrell, TX ](https://www.lonestarcu.org/about-us/locations-atms/terrell-branch/) - [Disclosures](https://www.lonestarcu.org/disclosures/) - [Accessibility](https://www.lonestarcu.org/website-accessibility/) - [Complaint Notice](https://www.lonestarcu.org/media/1118/complaint-notice.pdf) - [Sitemap](https://www.lonestarcu.org/sitemap/) - 800.588.6928 - Routing Number: 311079869 © 2019 Lone Star Credit Union - All rights reserved.
