1 pkg of calf liver (3/slices)
2-1/4 C of wheat germ
2-1/4 C of dry powdered milk
3 TBS of brewers yeast
3 eggs
1 C of water (ONLY add to moisten a little at a time)
First I cook the calf liver in a little garlic infused olive oil on medium heat and cover. Cook just a couple of minutes or until brown through. Then I puree or grate and set aside.
I mix the wheat germ, dry milk and yeast together in a mixer. Add the eggs one by one and add some water until the mix is is a little moist. I only add the water as needed. Then add the pureed liver. Mix and add water little by little until the mix is tacky moist.
I prefer to use a sheet of parchment paper to bake on. I use a regular spoon to just spoon a half dollop on the pan. These cookies do not rise so you can place them rather close together for baking. I usually cook up a batch and then wrap the remaining mix in plastic wrap (2/times) and then put it in the freezer.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Keep the cookies in an air tight container and place in the fridge. Cookies are good for about a week in the fridge but normally my dogs eat them well before then.
when you're ready to pull the frozen log out I also thaw my mix in the fridge and then I bake them.
My dogs absolutely love these cookies and I really must love my dogs because the smell of cooking liver is in my opinion disgusting. I can't even touch them before cooking. I cut the package open and dump right into the pan. I make my own treats for them because then I know what is going in them and liver (beef or calf) is super cheap and can be found in the frozen meat section. And by cheap I mean $1.50 for a package (3/slices). I will sometimes use ground turkey (1 lb) in this recipe. It is also about $1.50 for a 1 pound package.
Good luck and I am certain that your dogs will love them!
