Chopper's Cookies

I made Chopper some treats today. I had to... he was out and I was on a baking kick so I needed someone else to feed. I found this recipe somewhere... uh... I just can't remember where and the point is I modified it a lot so I'm not too worried about it. :)

Ok... Dog Cookies

2 eggs
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp oil
2 Tbsp peanut butter
1 cup chicken stock
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup corn meal

Not too hard... mix it all together, I had problems with it being rather dry so that's why I ended up with much more liquid than my original recipe called for. You actually wrap the dough and chill it for an hour, then roll it out about 1/2" thick and I used Chopper's favorite bone cookie cutter. Then you bake 12 minutes, flip them over and bake another 12 to dry them out.

He loved them.

Oreo Cupcakes

I finally feel like baking cupcakes again. Despite low energy and low tolerance for standing on the tile kitchen floor for too long, I'm back!!

I ran across the recipe for these cupcakes on Fake Ginger. They looked so scrumptious, I just had to try them. Not to mention Oreos are amazing anyway. My in-laws are coming to town today and I spent the morning cleaning and waiting so I finally decided I had enough time to whip these up before they get to town. My loving husband abandoned me to go hunting this weekend, even though his parents will be here, so if he doesn't get one, no spilled milk. :)

I'm not giving the recipe, you'll have to visit the Fake Ginger blog for that, but here's the result:
 I think these may become a most requested favorite at the office. :)
