Doggie Biscotti

I wanted to make some treats for our four legged child. I knew Rachel Ray had some great dog treats on her site, so I went here to check them out. She calls this one, Peanut-Carob Isabooscotti. Her original recipe is here. Below is the recipe as I made it…Doggie Biscotti.

Doggie Biscotti

2 Cups whole wheat flour

1 Tbsp baking powder

2 pinches of cinnamon

1 Cup chunky peanut butter

1 Cup milk

1 Cup carob chips 

Preheat the oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Place the peanut butter in a medium bowl and microwave at high power to soften, 5 to 10 seconds. Whisk in the milk, and then stir the mixture into the dry ingredients.

Shape the dough into a long, flattened log and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes; remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Slice the log crosswise on an angle into 1-inch-thick pieces. Set the slices on their sides (they should look like biscotti) and bake until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes more. Transfer to a rack to cool.

Melt the carob in a microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.  Pour into a small Ziploc bag and twist like a pastry bag. Snip a small piece of the corner and drizzle over biscotti. Let cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
