Carrot and Chicken Sourdough Dog Cookies
I must admit my dog, Grus, has become a bit of a sourdough fiend. He knows when a loaf is baking and is more than happy to get some bread scraps as a snack. To make him even happier I’ve taken to making treats with sourdough discard. These soft and savory cookies flavored with chicken stock and loaded with oats and carrots are a recent creation he has been particularly enamored with. This is an easy way to treat your dog to something special (and use up some discard while your at it).
