Your dog will bark about these treats! “For a family activity make pet treats and donate them to the local animal shelter or include as a specialty gourmet pet treat at a fundraiser bake sale,” suggests Charlene Patton.

Medium bowl
Small bowl
Cookie cutter or knife
Baking Sheet

Ingredients

2.5 cups whole wheat flour
½ cup non-fat dry milk powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon brown sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted cold butter or margarine
1 large egg
½ cup cold water or broth

Instructions

Making the Pet Treats

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, combine whole wheat flour, dry milk powder, salt and brown sugar. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender, fork or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine egg and cold water or broth.
Stir the egg mixture into the dry mixture to form a dough ball. Sprinkle with small amounts of water or flour to make a dough that can be kneaded. Knead for about 3 minutes.
Roll dough to ½-inch thickness. Cut into bone shapes, using cookie cutter or knife. Cut into kibble snacks by rolling the dough into a long thin log and cut ½-inch pieces.
Place the same-size shapes on each baking sheet for even browning.
Depending on the size of the shapes, bake 30 - 35 minutes or until browned and crunchy.
