I've been buying gerbers biter biscuts for Halsey but I was thinking it would be nice to just make them.. it would probably cost less and be healthier too.. but I wanted to get the consistancy of hard enough to teeth on but still will dissolve well too.. Any tips?
you can be oh so smart, or you can be oh so positive. I wasted a lot of time being smart I prefer being positive. |

Bobbie, Have you heard of Biscotti? It is Italian for bisquit, and it is hard but alot like the teething bisquits. They are sold to dip in coffee. I have a recipe I could post if you like. They have an almond flavor...not sure about that kind of taste for your wee one. They do disolve well. I will see if I can find a plain biscotti.

Hi ,I developed this natural theething cookie for my grandson. They are really good and Seren loves them. So do I for that matter. Any way, it is going to be in my cookbook but here it is for you who need it now,
Baby Teethers
2 cups Oat Flour
3/4 cup Barley Flour
1/4 cup Soy Flour
1/8 cup Teff Flour
Blend all dry ingredients well in large bowl.
1/2 cup Molasses
1/3 cup Safflower Oil
1 Tablespoon Maple Butter ( or syrup)
Blend liquid ingredients together until well amalgamated in a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Pour over dry ingredients in mixing bowl and turn on low. Mix until well blended and stiff dough like consistency. Add more oat flour if not stiff.
Press into a 9 x 15 inch brownie pan or roll out between two sheets of
parchment until 1/4 inch thick. Cut into bars 1 inch by 3 inches.
In brownie pan I make 2 cuts up the length of the pan and 13 cuts across the width of the pan. Poke each cookie with tines of a fork or a chocolate breaker fork. If you rolled the dough out you can cut into shapes or bars.
Bake the pan of bars 30 minutes at 300°. Remove the pan from the oven and with sharp knife re-cut the bars. Set cookies evenly spaced on cooling rack and placed back in 300° oven to further dry for 15 more minutes.
For cut shapes transfer to a cooling rack after 30 minutes and place back in the oven for 15 minutes more to dry bottoms.
You will get 39 bars. They are yummy!!

| Eileen, I wanted to make your cookie recipe, but I didn't know what Teff flour was. And would any vegetable oil work okay? I've got canola oil, not safflower oil.... |
