You can replace the bacon grease with canola oil and just brush the top of the baked treats with a little of the bacon grease. They still love them, but the treats are much healthier.

This is the favorite biscuits at the Farmer's Market. I give them to any and all dogs for a treat and the owner can donate if they wish and all proceeds go to the SPCA

Crispy and toasty tasting. All I can say is: WOW!! Since we have 2 dogs I wanted to double the recipe (and since they're going so fast, I'm glad I did!) I only had 4.5 cups of whole wheat flour so I added 1/2 cup of self-rising yellow cornmeal to equal the 5 cups called for and since we had baked ham for dinner last night, I trimmed off the fat, cut it into little bits and rendered fat from it on top of the stove in a pan on medium-low instead of using the bacon fat. Since the fat rendered was a little under the amount of fat called for I added some vegetable oil and then mixed in the crispy left-over bits of ham fat into the dough too! Our dogs have been following me around all morning for more of these treats! These will be baked up for our friend's dogs as Christmas presents this year! One hint though, after you cut the treats ( I used a round cutter that was 1 inch in diameter) use the flat bottom of a bowl to flatten out the treats to a thinner treat (1/4 inch) and extend the baking time to 40 minutes to make them crispier. After placing the cut out cookies to the baking sheet and into the oven, I gathered up the remaining dough, added a drop or two of water, mixed it in to the dough, sprinkled a little more flour on the counter and rolled out the dough again and continued to do this until the last bit of dough was used! OUR DOGS CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THESE!! Five Stars!

These were pretty good; it was kind of a pain to have to fry bacon in order to get the grease (which I didn't have on hand). I made them for a puppy party and the dogs seemed to like them. I used star-shaped cookie cutters.

I have two chihuahuas and a min pin, and they loved them. I did reduce the temp and time cooked just a little bit because I made very small cookies. I will definitely make again.

My pup, Kismet, loved 'em!! I didn't use cookie cutters, I rolled them into balls and flattened them with a fork (like a peanut butter cookie). I also added a bit of shredded carrot. Very easy to make...Kismet really enjoyed the "batter" also, but who doesn't enjoy munching on the "cookie" dough? Thanks for the recipe!

Every dog I've given these to LOVED them! The one and only time our dog has ever put his nose on the kitchen table was when I left the bag of these treats sitting on it! I like to double batch with the grease from baking a package of bacon. A little less fat but obviously still delicious!

My dog Sparky LOVED THEM. I was sort of afraid to give her the 1/3 cup of bacon grease because it probably was bad for her you know, that stuff is REALLY FATTY!! Oh and her stomach is very sensitive and she didn't get any sick doggy symtoms, Thanx!
