    I found some good recipes on alpaca treats and I am planning on making some which involves rolling out a “dough” onto a large cookie sheet. After baking, I plan to cut lots of individual “cookies.” I know that size would be important and I am not sure what dimensions each individual cookie should be. I do not want to form the dough mixture into individual balls as that would take too much time. The recipe has puréed alpaca “pelleted food,” bananas:

    Banana Mash Alpaca Treats
    • one banana, two large carrots, one cup of your normal llama, and alpaca pelleted feed.
    • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176 degrees Celsius) and prepare a baking tray.
    • Blend the banana and both carrots in a blender until it becomes a puree.
    • Grind up your pelleted feed until it becomes powdery.
    • Mix the puree and powdered feed in a bowl until it all becomes moist.
    • Form the dough-like mixture into small balls and place it on the baking tray in rows as you would do with cookie dough.
    • Bake until the small balls look dry but not crumbly.
    Cool and offer snacks to your llamas and alpacas during training or when getting their toenails

    I am thinking about 1” square with them being about 1/2” thick.
