Sis Hale, a fabulous person in so many ways, started her own fundraising event for NHS by baking her famous dog cookies and selling them at the NHS Thrift Shop.  The tradition continues!

Dog Treat Bakers
One of the unique items we sell at the shop is homemade dog treats which are bagged in paw print packages. The demand for them is huge and we are always in need of bakers. Ingredients are provided at no charge. Call Pat Brummel at 630/525-0189 if you can help! The recipe is shown below.
 Dog Biscuit Recipe 

• ¼ cup oil
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• ¼ cup honey or molasses
• 2-1/2 cups quick cooking oatmeal
• 3 cups flour
• Up to 1 cup milk or water, as needed

 Mix wet ingredients together.  Add dry ingredients to wet mixture, adding milk or water until pliable.  Prepare jellyroll size pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper or foil. Press biscuit mixture into prepared pan, smoothing out with a rolling pin, sprayed lightly with cooking spray.  Use a pizza cutter to cut and score the dough into the desired size of the individual biscuits.  This is important as they are difficult to cut once baked.  Bake at 325 degrees for one hour. Remove from the oven and break pieces apart when cool enough to handle and turn them over in the pan. Put back in the over at 200 degrees for 2 more hours.  Biscuits should be very hard. The biscuits can be refrigerated or frozen.
