These are Olive and her friends' favorite homemade dog biscuits. They do not contain any peanut butter in case someone in the house has an allergy. I made these with all organic ingredients.

Serves: 24-40
Ingredients
  • 3 slices uncured bacon
  • 2¼ cups whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup toasted wheat germ
  • ½ cup ground flax seed
  • ½ cup nonfat dry milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1¼ cups low sodium chicken broth
  • ⅓ cup chopped parsley
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 shallow baking sheets with parchment paper
  2. Cook the bacon until crisp and set aside to cool. Finely chop bacon
  3. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat
  4. Combine chopped bacon,whole wheat flour, wheat germ, ground flax seed and dry milk in medium bowl.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together reserved bacon fat, egg, broth and parsley
  6. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together with wooden spoon or spatula until coarse dough forms
  7. Knead the dough several times until it comes together to form a ball
  8. Add more stock if you feel like the dough is not holding together well
  9. Turn dough out on to a lightly floured surface and roll out to ¼" thick disc
  10. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes (like making cookies) - reassembling dough scraps and rolling out again to make more cut outs until all of the dough is used up
  11. Bake the dog cookies until lightly browned and pretty hard about 40-45 minutes
  12. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely - they will harden more as they cool
  13. Store in an airtight container
  14. This recipe will make about 24-40 treats depending on the size of the cutters
