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.
