Trail Mix Dog Cookies

Michelle:

In the Instructions section of this recipe you have listed Papaya, but it does not appear in the Ingredients list. Can you tell me how much to use?

Also, instead of the extra Olive Oil if the dough doesn't stick, is it ok to use honey?

Thank you - Cathy

Chef's Answer ~ Wow, you have a great eye for detail! :) I accidentally added papaya to the instructions of the recipe. It's not pictured on the plate of ingredients and I did not add it to the cookies I've made. That being said, you could easily add papaya to your trail mix dog cookies recipes. I would add an 1/8 cup of papaya to these cookies. But I would do one of two things. Either take out another 1/8 cup of one of the ingredients so that the cookies will still stick together. Or, you can keep the recipe as is, add papaya and then be ready with about a tbsp extra of flour and a tsp or two of olive oil to ensure the cookie dough comes together well.

Yes, it is OK to use honey. You will want to add it slowly, and even warm it in the microwave first so it will pour more evenly over your dog cookie dough. Start with just a tablespoon and add more if needed.

I hope this has answered your questions. Thanks again for finding my typo, I appreciate it! :)

Happy Dog Treat Baking! :)
