Picky Eater Dog Biscuits

Here is my recipe for Picky Eater Dog Biscuits.  The original recipe came from www.allrecipes.com, that I have tweaked a little.  They are made with fresh ingredients and no preservatives.  I suggest you keep them in a zip lock bag in the fridge, so they won't mold.  This treat is really easy and my very picky dogs LOVE them.  I hope your dog loves them too!

Ingredients

1 C. Rolled Oats
1/3 C. Butter or Margarine
1 C. Boiling Water
3/4 C. Cornmeal (plain)
2 tsp. Honey or Agave Sweetener
2 tsp Beef Broth or Stock (you can substitute chicken)
1/2 C. Milk (whole, skim, 2% is fine)
1 C. Shredded Cheddar Cheese ( dogs seem to prefer sharp)
1 Large Egg, beaten
3 C. Whole Wheat Flour

Preparation

1.  In a large bowl, combine the oats, margarine and boiling water.  Let this mixture stand for 10 minutes.  While you are waiting.......

2.  Preheat the oven to 325 degrees!  Prepare cookie sheets for baking by greasing, using Silpat or parchment paper.

3.  Stir in cornmeal, sweetener, stock/broth, cheese and beaten egg.

4.  Add flour, one cup at a time until a stiff dough is formed. (If you are using a stand or hand mixer, use a dough hook attachment if you have one)

5.  Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, using additional flour if needed to make the dough smooth.  Roll out the dough to approximately 1/4" thickness.  **A thicker biscuit will be chewier and not as hard**

6.  Use a cookie cutter and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake approximately 40-45 minutes in a preheated oven.  Cool thoroughly before serving.

cut out and ready for the oven!

I use a dog bone shaped cookie cutter
