music: Silver Bells... Silver Bells.
It's that time of year again folks.
King Merlin has a very special request from all of you...
It's call Merlin's Chowy Cookies!!!
It's that time of the year again everyone, so King Merlin would like to ask all those Humans out there to help spread some Christmas cheer and bake up a batch of Merlin's Chowy cookies!!!!
If you don't have a poochies, please bake some up and donate them to a rescue or charity.. that's King Merlin's wish this year.
MERLIN's CHOWY COOKIES RECIPE
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (white flour if you really must)
3/4 cups of natural oatmeal
1/4 cup of wheat germ
1/3 cup of peanut butter (ok to use un-sweetened or diabetic peanut butter)
1/4 cup of vegetable oil or wild salmon oil - krill oil or 3-fish oil*
(*using fish oil makes for quite the smell when baking)
2 tblsp of honey
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup of water
GLAZE:
1 large egg
2 tblsp of milk
Preheat your oven to 275 degrees F
In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients (except GLAZE ingredients)
Mix everything together until thoroughly combined. I find it easiest to use my paws.
Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick and use your favorite cookie-cutters, or hand shape little Merlins.
Apply glaze to tops of your Merlin shaped biscuits
Place on a greased cookie pan and bake for 30 minutes. Flip them all over and bake for another 20-30 minutes. Your Chows will love them. Seems that Shar-Pei love them too! Seems that all dogs love them!
TA - DA !
The fruits of our hard morning work!
Here are our gift bags all nicely wrapped complete with cards and bows and candy canes.
(The candy canes are for the envious Humans)
This is a great way to impress all your chow friends and a welcomed treat for any canine owner.
