Chicken lover? Why yes, I am.

I realize I may lose some of you here but keep an open mind and maybe we can figure out something together...

On what has become my Saturday morning ritual I found a gem.  A crispy, chickeny gem.   So I'm on a little jaunt down to my local farmer's market for an amazing veggie breakfast burrito (which is always better then the ones I attempt to make at home), some fresh flowers, funky veggies, and the best pie on the planet when I spot something that will momentarily transfer my gluttony to my pups.

Precious Puch All Natural Doggie Treat 'Chicken Lover'

As I approach this cookie shack I notice the table covered in golden, crispy treats.  They were not hot from the oven but you could still smell their delicious, natural ingredients wafting through the tent.  The friendliest faced woman started waving in a Vanna White styled gesture but after I heard bacon I don't remember much else.  All I know is as I exit the tent I have a cute little poodle face under my arm.

After chit chatting with a few locals it's homeward bound.  MacKenzie and Lucy have tilted their faces in just the right angle to make me want to give them whatever they want so out comes the bag.  The smell of chicken and rosemary permeates the air once again.  MacKenzie would eat a plastic cookie in a second flat, as she did with this cookie.  Lucy is motivated by affection not food, so she can take or leave treats.  She just hopes when handing it to her you bend down close enough to pet her.  This being said, she gently took the cookie from my hand and took off like she stole it!  She licked it and carried it around wagging her tail until the set of eyes burrowing into the back of her head became too much and she realized that she better eat it soon.

Okay...we're to that point now.  I'm not gonna lie.

I took a bite.

It was so very good.  It's like if a compressed rosemary biscuit had a baby with a chicken pot pie crust.  The ingredients are unbleached Flour, Chicken Stock, Chicken Powder (I have no idea what that is.), Vegetable Oil, Roll Oats (Again, no clue.), Baking Powder and Rosemary.  So it's not like when you played truth or dare as a kid and had to eat kibble.  In fact if they weren't shaped shaped like schnauzers, fire hydrants, and paw prints you would just think of it as a yummy cracker disguised as a cookie that needed some salt.

I must make these...and of course serve them to my friends without saying a word.

If you have a link to a recipe (for human consumption) that sounds good please post it.
