Maple/Bran Dog Biscuits

I use the dark non stick pans. If you are using lighter pans, you may want to lightly 'pam' your cookie sheets. I use two large sheets, but 2 small sheets can fit on each rack. I like to make big batches, so they last a little longer, plus I have 2 dogs, and they like to do tricks and beg a lot!
