Yield - This will depend on the size of cookie cutter you use. This batch should give you a yield of about 2 dozen when you use a 1 inch dog cookie cutter.

Tips & Techniques

• Oil - You can substitute canola oil in place of the safflower oil. They both have a light flavor and are both very low in saturated fats.
  
  
• BBQ Sauce - Look for a sauce that has little or no sugar. They won't miss all that added sugar in their dog biscuits.
  
  
• Review what the ASPCA says in regards to giving your dog treats with garlic or onions in them. This is a great article to put your mind at ease because most BBQ sauces have a very small amount of dried onion and sometimes garlic in them. You can also make your own sauce. A sample recipe would be 1 tbsp. of olive oil, 2 tbsp. tomato paste, to 1/2 cup beef broth. That should get you started for a nice base BBQ sauce recipe that you can adjust as you see fit.
