Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 20-25 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes | Makes: 18 cookies

Fried beef patties with vegetables stacked on cooling rack, savory homemade burger or meatloaf, close-up view.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 oz beef liver, cooked and chopped (fresh from butcher for best quality)
  • 1 cup carrots, finely grated (natural sweetness and beta-carotene)
  • 1/2 cup peas, cooked and mashed (protein and fiber for digestion)
  • 1/4 cup oats (gentle binding and additional fiber)
  • 1 egg (natural binding for perfect cookie texture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—essential for organ meat cookie cleanup!
  2. Cook beef liver completely until no pink remains, then cool and chop into manageable pieces.
  3. Blend chopped liver in food processor until smooth and creamy for uniform cookie texture.
  4. Cook peas until soft and mash thoroughly for easy binding and digestion.
  5. Combine processed liver, grated carrots, mashed peas, oats, and egg in bowl and mix well until mixture holds together.
  6. Scoop spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet and flatten into cookie shapes—uniform sizes work best.
  7. Bake 20-25 minutes until firm to touch—start checking at 20 minutes to prevent overcooking.
  8. Cool completely before serving (patience pays off for perfect texture and safety).

Notes:

  • Always cook organ meat thoroughly—no pink should remain for dog safety
  • Amber prefers these with visible vegetable pieces for interesting texture
  • Process liver completely smooth for best cookie consistency

Storage Tips:

  • Store in refrigerator in airtight container for up to one week
  • Freeze individual cookies for up to 3 months—perfect for portion control
  • Don’t leave out on counter—organ meat spoils quickly without preservatives
