Given the current pampering of these two fur babies, I thought why not try my hand at some healthy dog treats. So, with a good excuse to use up the milk in the fridge and a reason to pull out my cookie cutter collection ... I whipped up these nutty treats for the diva dogs in a snap! These are so very easy to make and I'm pretty sure if left unattended they would be gone in a few minutes! This recipe is great because it doesn't include some crazy preservatives (so it should be eaten in 5-7 days after making them) and it makes a large batch of over 24 medium size treats.
