Doggie Bone Treats

COOK TIME: 40 Min

Do ya think your furry friend feels left out when you cook for everyone else but him? Why not make a batch of these Doggie Bone Treats? It's just one way to show some TLC.

What You'll Need

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup powdered milk
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon green food color
1 egg
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint, optional

What to Do

Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine both flours, the wheat germ, powdered milk, shortening, brown sugar, and salt; mix until crumbly.
In a small bowl, combine the water and food color; mix well. Add to the flour mixture, along with the egg and mint; mix well.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth. Using a rolling pin, roll to a 1/2-inch thickness. Using a wreath- or dog bone-shaped cookie cutter or a knife, cut out biscuits.
Place the biscuits on the rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until browned around the edges. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Makes about 1 dozen treats.
