J2, I get the feeling you don't trust me! Ok I don't have a doggie.. and would not want to harm one. I got the recipe from a true blue dog owner..
"We did something a little more festive this time and I made these Holiday Doggie Bagels for them. The dough is simple whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour and rye flour mixed with a little bit of warmed chicken broth, honey and yeast to add some lift.
You don't have to let the dough rise much, but you do want to give it a few minutes to relax before you begin shaping them. After you form the dough into little balls, you just plunge a floured finger through the center to form a hole - you can either twirl or stretch the dough to make the hole bigger; I found it easier to just spin it around my finger a few times. The bagels will rise and puff up a bit from the heat of the oven and since they are so small already, they only need to rest for 5 or 10 minutes before baking.
Right before we put them in the oven, we decided on impulse to dye the bagels in a couple holiday colors - to do this, we just beat an egg yolk with a splash of water and used a tiny bit of red and green gel to tint the yolks. While we left a few completely plain, after we painted the colored ones, we decided to sprinkle on some sesame seeds for good measure. The red worked well, but the green color ended up kind of weak - I probably should have used a bit more of the gel. The spoiled pups devoured their piece in record time and give them two (4 if they could!) paws up."
If you need more proof I will give you his address!!!

I wasn't worried about you harming dogs, Cinder, I was worried about folks making "these nice colored bagels I saw online" for Christmas morning breakfast or something.
I've had dogs, I know what they can (and do) eat.

Even if people did make them for themselves and not dogs; they should be perfectly good to eat. A bit bland, perhaps, but safe. 
And besides, I'd have very little sympathy for people who bake "nice, colored DOGGIE bagels" and then wonder about the ingredients or the taste!

I usually fail miserably with sugar cookies, especially when they come from a box or a tube. But these are spectacular. I made them with the help of a 6yr old and they turned out looking good and tasting even better.
Everyone's Favorite Christmas Sugar Cookies
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar
1-3/4 cup sifted all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1 Tbl heavy cream or milk
1/4 tsp salt
Cream butter or margarine in a medium size bowl until soft;
add sugar gradually, creaming after each addition;
beat in egg, cream, vanilla.
Sift dry ingredients together and add to creamed mixture, blending well.
Roll out on lightly floured board to about 1/4" thickness.
Cut out with floured cookie cutters; place on lightly greased cookie
sheets.
Bake in oven at 375 degrees 8 minutes. Cool.
To decorate beat 1 egg white slightly; stir in about 2 cups
confectioner's powdered sugar. (Use only enough sugar to make frosting
of good spreading consistency). Tint frosting colors desired with food
coloring. Make designs with cinnamon drops, silver shots, etc. Makes
about 40 cookies.
MY NOTES:
- The above is the original recipe.
- I don't know if you've ever rolled and cut out cookies before, but
with these, be liberal in your use of flour to get the dough to the
right consistency so they cut well and can be transferred to the sheets.
-Also flour the cookie cutters to make cutting easier.
- We haven't frosted the cookies in a long time. Before we put them in
the oven, we decorate them with colored sugar, red hots, etc.
-The best way to do this is cut the cookie dough, place them
on the baking sheet, and then carefully add colored sugar individually
onto each cookie.
-The cookies 'grow' quite a bit in the oven, so place them far apart
on the cookie sheet, unless you want to end up with a melded sheet
of colorful cookies.
- We also don't leave them in the oven a full 8 minutes. Everyone around
here likes them slightly underdone and soft. You'll have to figure out
how your oven does them.
-I also always make a double batch because they just don't seem to have a very
long shelf life. |

Since the SeaHawks are not going to that little old game, least I can do is post a few goodies for those who are going to have at home.
Chutney Cheese Ball
1 small jar mango chutney
1 8 oz block cream cheese
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
2 green onions, chopped (you can add more or less depending on taste)
4 strips of bacon, crumbled
Mix together cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Let stand overnight and form into a ball. Place ball in bowl and pour chutney over it. Sprinkle with a little more cheddar cheese. Top with green onions and bacon. Serve with any type of crackers.

Juice of 1 lime
Mix all together and add salt to taste. Chill. Serve with tortilla chips or serve as a side dish.
Would go great with this one.
Beefy Taco Bake
1 pound ground beef
1 can (10-3/4oz) tomato soup
1 cup salsa-could be regular tomato style or the one above
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, stirring until crumbled; drain.
3. Stir in the soup, salsa, milk and 1/2 cup cheese; spoon into the baking dish.
4. Cover and bake for 30 minutes, or until hot. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese, and serve with warm tortillas or tortilla chips (we love it spooned over the tortilla chips).

You Will Need
24 medium jalapeno peppers

Editor's Note: When cutting or seeding hot peppers, use rubber or plastic gloves to protect your hands. Avoid touching your face.
