Taking Tree 01

A beautiful weeping willow. Can you find the hidden object?

Taking Tree 02

Gather the ingredients and preheat the oven to 300°F.

Taking Tree 03

Dissolve two vegetable bouillon cubes in 3/4 cup boiling water.

Mix ingredients into a ball.

Roll out ball to about 1/4" thick.

Here's where I ran into a tiny obstacle. I didn't have cookie cutters or cookie sheet. Instead I cut these shapes out with a butter knife (not recommended) and laid them out on an ungreased pizza pan.

Taking Tree 08

Bake for 30 minutes at 300°F, and voilà!

Taking Tree 09

I figured it wouldn't be fair to expect a dog to eat my cooking unless I was also willing to try it. I even convinced a few of my fellow FOEcakes to sample the biscuits. "Death Kava" anyone?

Taking Tree 10

The dog park.

Taking Tree 11

A bell tree.

Taking Tree 12

X marks the treat!

Taking Tree 13

A bone. Puppy treat classic.

This one was just a circle. It's hard to cut dough shapes with a butter knife!

Kitty face. Nom nom nom.

Diamond in the rough.

Ok, this triangle is getting a little O'Keefesque.

The square root of this task.

Taking Tree 20

The tenth hidden object and my personal favorite biscuit: the heart.

Taking Tree 21

Wait! There's more? I baked the rest of the dough into strips, so it wouldn't go to waste.

Taking Tree 22

Looks like a caterpillar.

These bushes looked jealous of the trees, so I gave them each a hidden biscuit too.

This early riser found one of the biscuits in the bushes, but she had already devoured it before I could get within camera range. She let me take a close up while she sniffed my biscuit hand.
