Everyone likes homemade best, so why would we think our furry friends would want any less too? Whipping up homemade treats for the pets in our lives is way easier than you think, and they'll appreciate it too!
This recipe is for the tuna loving kitty in your life, and if you add in that hint of catnip you know you can't go wrong!

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2

Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and blend until a dough ball forms. Touch dough. If it feels extremely sticky add additional flour 1 tbs at a time to absorb some of the extra moisture. If dough won't come together add additional water 1 tbs at a time until it forms a ball.
3

Sprinkle your counter top with flour. Turn dough out onto counter. Flatten by hand into a disc and sprinkle top generously with more flour. Use rolling pin to roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick, adding extra flour as necessary to prevent sticking.
4

Cut dough into 1/2 inch squares or use a bottle cap to cut out small circles.
5

Place pieces on prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden and puffy, about 20 minutes depending on size. Let cool completely before serving kitty!
6

Note: if you do not have a food processor you can mix the dough by hand using a wooden spoon. Just stir the tuna around to break it up before adding any other ingredients.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
