Holiday Dog Cookie Recipe: Salivatin’ Cinnamon Apple Nips

“Now the furry little apple of your eye will have yet another reason to love you.”  From Cooking the Three Dog Bakery Way by Mark Beckloff & Dan Dye, Broadway Books, New York.

Apples and whole oats are sweetened with a touch of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon will definitely get your pooch’s full ears-up attention.  They make a great reward for your pup just for being so darn cute!

Salivatin’ Cinnamon Apple Nips
1 cup all-purpose flour1 cup quick rolled oats1 tsp. baking powder1 tsp. cinnamon½ cup canola oil1/3 cup honey2 eggs1 cup cored & diced apple 
Preheat oven to 350 F.  Grease two baking sheets with nonstick vegetable spray.

Stir together the flour, oats, baking powder & cinnamon in a bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, stir together the oil and honey until well blended. Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and stir to form a smooth dough.  Fold in the apples.

Drop the dough by the rounded teaspoonful, 1.5 inches apart, on the baking sheets.  Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden.

Cool to room temperature before serving.


Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or wrap well and freeze for up to two months.  (Thaw before serving.)

Where the FREE treats are!

In a world where all things are created equal, a lot of dog owners choose their destinations based on who is handing out the free treats. Here are a couple to get things going and we’ll add to this list periodically. Meanwhile, if you and your dog know where the cookies are, please drop us a note so we can spread the word. We love to support pet-friendly merchants in Vancouver and all over the Lower Mainland. If you have a dog-friendly destination in mind, write to us, including a picture of you and your dog if you can.

Here are a couple to get things rolling:

Higher Grounds Coffeehouse is located at the corner of West Broadway and Vine in Kitsilano. Troy and Tonya and their delightful, smiling crew serve an excellent latte plus their delicious morning ham'n'eggers and fresh baked muffins sell out each and every day! Delicious food for us and a full dog cookie jar by the door for our pooches!

At MayFair News there is always a cookie at the post office in back when you visit on West Broadway just off Granville. A great selection of magazines and newspapers, plus full postal services for us humans and a cookie for Fido... yum!

Remember: let us know when you encounter pet-friendly businesses in Vancouver and the GVRD!
