200g plain flour
50g pure icing sugar or powdered caster sugar
125g butter, chopped and softened
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tbsp very cold water
1. Sift together flour and sugar. Add chopped soft butter and rub in with fingers. Once the dough forms large clumps,
sprinkle cold water and vanilla over the dough and knead lightly until a soft dough forms. Do not overwork the
dough or it will be tough.
2. Let the dough rest at room temperature for about 10 mins.
3. Preheat oven to 325F.

To assemble cookies:
Fruit Loops
Mixed Rasins and Cherries
Koko Kruch cereal
Chocolate rice for the eyes
1. Pinch off about 2 teaspoonfuls of dough for each cookie. Embed 2 rasins/chopped cherries in the center of the dough.
2. Place the ball of dough on the baking tray. Use 2 Koko Kruch cereal pieces to form the ears, chocolate rice for the
eyes and a fruit loop for the nose.
3. Bake at 325F for 20 mins until the cookies are light golden brown.

You may decorate it according to your liking.

We made a version of this with Milo for brown cookies and Horlicks for white cookies. My son made them for CNY this year.

yup happy mum.. Enjoy baking with ya angels.. I personally like the golden bucket butter as the buttery taste is richer.. Rmb nt to pinch a big ball of dough as it will take longer time to be cooked.

http://happyhomebaking.blogspot.com/2007/01/horlicks-doggie-cookies.html. I simply replace equal parts of the Horlicks for Milo. When I ran out of powdered milk for the second batch, I simply replace that amount with more Milo powder.


It's so easy to do that my son took over after we measured out all the ingredients. We just weighed out 9g of cookie dough for each dog and my son had fun making funny faces on it.

We made a batch of Horlicks and a batch of Milo for the younger ones' kindergarten party, and the kids loved it!

I personally like it because both Milo and Horlicks are packed with lots of vitamins and minerals, so they are lovely snacks for the kids.
