Steve's Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

Easy to make healthy dog biscuits.

• Ready In: 16 mins
• Yields: 120 squares

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1  cup all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 cup powdered milk
• 1⁄2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal, and extra for sprinkling (not instant)
• 1⁄2 cup  smooth peanut butter (I use the large jars of inexpensive generic)
• 2  tablespoons toasted wheat germ
• 1  extra large egg, lightly beaten
• 1  egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash if you are so inclined
• 1  cup water (I use cold tap water)

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Line sheet pan/cookie sheet with parchment paper.
3. Use electric mixer (dough hook), mix dry ingredients including peanut butter on low speed.
4. Add the lightly beaten egg and 1 cup water and mix until it forms a slightly sticky ball.
5. Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and knead into a ball. Roll the dough out 1/2 inch thick.
6. Cut the dough into small squares with a pizza cutter. Or use a cookie cutter. That's more work and the dog won't care about the treat's shape. Treats from cookie cutters make nice family gifts, however.
7. Optional: Brush dough with egg wash and sprinkle oatmeal.
8. Bake in 325 degree oven for 60 minutes until completely hard.
9. Cool, then break up the cooked sheet into squares.
