Cookies for me, cookies for Asta

Coffee all day works against me if I'm not madly typing and clicking so I switched to green tea during the Ike days. I decided to make some cake mix cookies to go with my tea while I was cooking and Foodsaving 4 family packs of pig last Thursday. The recipe is 1-2-3 simple and we made them all the time since my now 17-yr-old granddaughter was 5 years old.
Cake Mix Cookies
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup oatmeal
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup oil
3 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 box cake mix [any flavor]

Mix all ingredients together and drop by teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie
sheet. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.

The small cookie on the left is 1 tsp. Obviously, I used 1 tbsp for these. One thing about using the gas grill for baking is you can only use 1/2 the grill to bake at 350. This doubles baking time and I'm not patient enough for that... with all the other prep and cooking being done during this.
Asta patiently waited (and got her treat) but I decided this was a good time to try that recipe for dog cookies while I had the peanut butter out.
Simple Simon's Birthday Bones
from Three Dog Bakery Cookbook by Dan Dye and Mark Beckloff (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $12.95)
2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup skim milk
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix the peanut butter and milk. Add wet mixture to the dry, and mix well.Turn out the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead. Roll out 1/4-inch thick, and cut out shapes. (I made these way too thick and will correct for the next batch. She doesn't seem to mind the only cookie cutter I had that was in any way dog treat shaped was a snowman.)
Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until lightly brown. (Ah, here you can see I've switched from tea and cookies to red wine.)
Cool on a rack, then store in an airtight container. Makes 30 large bones.
Asta loves these so much when I ask if she wants a treat, she runs to me licking her chops over and over and over.
