OK, I haven't had luck on a web search. In the past I have seen a recipe for making one's own doggie treats. Basically wheat flour, garlic powder for the stinky value, and whatever to bake into a firm, dry, cut-out biscuit. But I can't find it/them now. Anyone have a recipe?
I'm the foster father at a distance of a cocker spaniel in New Orleans, a Katrina storm survivor. Long story. Paid some bills for care and medical, can't take him home cross-country, at least just now. So I want to send a personalized care package to his step-mom, including treats for the mutt and others in the nest.
Next I need to investigate how bad it is for dogs to travel in an airplane baggage hold. But that's another story.

Have you considered using a dehydrator and drying up a thinly sliced lean cut of meat? Kinda like Dawg Jerky...of course cut into treat sized pieces. Don't season it just make it into small thin pieces. Partially freeze meat to make thin slicing easier.
Or bake it in the oven at around 180-200F till it has turned into dog jerky... several hours.
Alternate is puree a lb of beef liver ; then add enough flour to make a stiff paste and then add some eggs till cookie like dough is achieved...roll out and use a bone shaped cookie cutter. Bake till nicely browned at around 350F.

I know about the fall-on-the-floor formula. I just want some things that I can make and box up and mail, instead of just writing checks and saying, "Buy something for them." More the personal touch. So, maybe I'm a repressed canine grandma.
Hi doggy lover at a distance. Instead of posting links, I prefer to give recipe(s) Here is the one I have made a couple of times. I make 1/2 a recipe, because the whole recipe is sooo much for a small Dachsy. Also make sure that the dog is NOT allergic to corn and peanutbutter.... I tasted the baked cookie myself, because this is "People" food ingredients; and although bland they were good.
SPIKE'S VERY OWN (Dog Cookies)
2 C. quick-cooking oats (1)
1/2 C. margarine, cut into pieces (1/4)
4 beef or chicken bouillon cubes ( 2 tsp. chicken stock powder)
2 C. boiling water (1 c)
2 C. whole wheat flour (1 c)
1-1/2 C. yellow cornmeal (3/4)
2 T. sugar (1tbs)
1 C. milk (1/2 c buttermilk)
2 large eggs (1)
2 C. grated cheese (optional) (1)
2 to 4 C. all-purpose flour (1 1/2) optional 1 tbs. of peanutbutter Note : amounts between (parentheses )are for 1/2 a recipe) Preheat oven to 350°F . Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Measure oats into a medium bowl, top with pieces of margarine and the bouillon cubes. Pour in boiling water and let sit 10 minutes to dissolve the margarine and bouillon cubes. Mix well, then add whole wheat flour, cornmeal, sugar, milk, eggs and optional cheese. Add enough of the all purpose flour to make a stiff dough. Mix well, using hands if necessary. Roll out dough. The thinner the dough, the crisper the baked treats will be. Use bone- or cat-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Bake on prepared cookie sheets until hard, 5 to 15 minutes depending on how thin the dough is rolled. Remove from cookie sheets and cool completely. Dutchess - Grandma of (now) 2 dachsies.
