Hi doggy lover at a distance.
Instead of posting links, I prefer to give recipe(s)
Here is the one I have made a couple of times.
I make 1/2 a recipe, because the whole recipe is sooo much for a small
Dachsy.
Also make sure that the dog is NOT allergic to corn and peanutbutter....
I tasted the baked cookie myself, because this is "People" food ingredients;
and although bland they were good.

SPIKE'S VERY OWN (Dog Cookies)
2 C. quick-cooking oats (1)
1/2 C. margarine, cut into pieces (1/4)
4 beef or chicken bouillon cubes ( 2 tsp. chicken stock powder)
2 C. boiling water (1 c)
2 C. whole wheat flour (1 c)
1-1/2 C. yellow cornmeal (3/4)
2 T. sugar (1tbs)
1 C. milk (1/2 c buttermilk)
2 large eggs (1)
2 C. grated cheese (optional) (1)
2 to 4 C. all-purpose flour (1 1/2)
optional 1 tbs. of peanutbutter
Note : amounts between (parentheses )are for 1/2 a recipe)
Preheat oven to 350°F . Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
Measure oats into a medium bowl, top with pieces of margarine and the
bouillon cubes. Pour in boiling water and let sit 10 minutes to dissolve the
margarine and bouillon cubes. Mix well, then add whole wheat flour,
cornmeal, sugar, milk, eggs and optional cheese. Add enough of the all
purpose flour to make a stiff dough. Mix well, using hands if necessary.
Roll out dough. The thinner the dough, the crisper the baked treats
will be. Use bone- or cat-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Bake on
prepared cookie sheets until hard, 5 to 15 minutes depending on how thin the
dough is rolled. Remove from cookie sheets and cool completely.
