Spread the Biscuits

Our Price: $1.75 Quantity:

1. Start with your group or buddy to help with the project.
2. Who could use some animal “biscuits”?

Are there animals in your neighborhood that have done something above and beyond—maybe in your eyes they are an “animal hero”?

Other Suggestions: Contact local animal shelters, animal hospitals, and pet adoption centers. Think about how many biscuits you think you and your helpers can produce so you can offer a realistic guess to the receiving organization.

3. Spread the Word!
If you just want to involve your troop or group making the biscuits or purchasing them from the store and spreading, greatness!

Dogs, cats, and other domestic animals LOVE biscuits. However, it is preferable not to feed them the same biscuits that we love, because of the sugar factor. To maintain a healthy animal sugar and salt should be negligible as far as their in take is concerned.

4. If you are making your biscuits below is a fun recipe.
Waggy Pup Tails Dog Treats
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup pumpkin
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Water, at least 1 teaspoon

Have an adult preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, eggs, pumpkin, peanut butter, salt, and cinnamon.

Transfer the mixture onto the kitchen counter and knead with your hands until the mixture comes together. Add water if needed, 1 tsp at a time, until it’s easy to squish but not gooey. The mixture should be dry and stiff.

Roll the dough out with a rolling pin to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut shapes, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

With help from an adult, bake at 350F for 40 minutes. The treats should be golden brown and crunchy. Let cool before feeding to your dog or donating them to someone.

Mix up a batch of your favorite recipe or mix and start baking.

Remember that animals have different taste buds than we do. Stay away from anything sweet.

Decorate: You can use neat animal cookie cutters to make fun designs. You can also decide just how to package your special treats. Maybe you’ll use lunch bags, small boxes or some other way to deliver your message of appreciation and love. Think of these treats as very special presents. Notes, poetry and quotes are great, as are bows, gift bags, colored plastic wrap, wrapping paper, – anything that makes your biscuits look special, and will make those who receive them feel special.

5. Collect and prepare [If you are involving your community in your project]

Choose a place to collect the biscuits baked or purchased from the store. Allow time to sort through the biscuits to check their condition and appearance. You may have to discard a few.

7. Stand and Deliver. Involve your bakers and animal lovers – big and little – as much as possible in delivering the treats. It’s great for them to see where their generosity is going, and often the recipients appreciate the chance to say thanks, especially animals!!!
