-------------------------------------BY: TIFFANY DITTO Staff Writer -------------------------------------Let?s face it, for millennials our dogs are our children, and if there?s one thing we loved doing with our mom growing up, it was baking cookies. Zookies Cookies brings that fun experience to life with your fur baby. After watching an episode of NBC?s Shark Tank where investors struck a $50,000 deal with the creators of Zookies Cookies, we ordered a pack to see what the hype was about. The cookies are sold online on the Zookies Cookies website and are shipped directly to the consumer. Each container of batter makes one
batch of cookies, which according to the packaging is 36 cookies (we got about 20 out of one container, but this was probably user error as I never get the correct amount of muffins or cookies out of my baking mixes). The whole process was as easy as baking boxed cookies, and took about 30-40 min from start to finish. In order to bake the cookies, the baker and their doggo begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Next y'all will combine the cookie mix into a bowl, adding half a cup of water. Stir in the water until dough forms. The dough is thick and kind of dry, but it?s easily pressed into the bone shapes pet owners have come to know and love in their dog treats. Zookies mix even takes care of this aspect for you as well because each package comes with a bone shaped cookie cutter.
limited human grade ingredients, so in theory you can share the treats with your pup when you?re done. We baked the Peanut Barker flavor, and our test dog, a spunky Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Riley, loved them. We did end up trying them ourselves and they were quite dry and crunchy (not quite what the human pallet loves from a cookie), but they were a hit with the pup. As we all know, anything that is a hit with the dogs is a hit with us. Overall we give Zookies Cookies 4/4 paws up. Currently Zookies Cookies are sold in two flavors Cocomutt and Peanut Barker. Each package of cookies retails for $13.99. To order Zookies cookies visit: zookiescookies.com.
