After perfecting his Peanut Butter Dog Treats, Brendan Madden decided he would also create a Service Dog cookie for humans to enjoy. He has generously shared the recipe here!

- 1 cup softened butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda

Baking Instructions:
- preheat oven to 375*F

- in a separate bowl, mix flour, baking godsend salt, gradually combine dry ingredients
- chill dough for two hours
- roll dough 1/4” thick
- bake on un-greased cookie sheet for 9-10 minutes
To make the vest:
- use blue fondant
- roll it out 1/16” thick
- use the cookie cutter to cut out a dog shape
- then trim the hind leg/butt, front leg and head off to form the vest
- dab some frosting on the dog cookie to glue the vest on
About the Dog Cookie Cutter: Brendan chose the Ann Clark Labrador Retriever Cookie Cutter, 4.4” to most closely match the service dog in the NHCSSD logo. Available at Amazon.
