These are homemade grain free dog biscuits for your furry friends. I made this dog treat recipe  for a furry friend who follows a grain free diet. These cookies are high in protein and every ingredient listed below you can pronounce. Can you say that about the dog treats you buy at the store? I am not so sure.

What does grain free mean? It is more than just gluten free, and just because a product is label gluten free does not mean it is grain free. Grain free eliminates all grains including wheat, rice, corn, barley, and oats.

What are the benefits to grain free treats? They generally are higher in protein and lower in carbohydrates which can help your pet stay fuller longer. Grain free may also help eliminate any side effects if your pet has any allergies to grain.

2 cups  Coconut Flour Bob’s Red Mill

3/4 cup Chicken Broth

1   Egg

3/4 cup low fat 1-2% milk

On a pastry mat roll dough to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness.  Cut shapes with cookie cutters. The biscuits can be placed close to each other on a baking sheet, they will not rise.  Brush with beaten egg for a shiny glaze and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes depending on the size.  Move the biscuits to a drying rack and allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

For optimal results let biscuits dry on racks overnight.
