Cuisine: Dog Treats
Serves: 20 biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, shredded cheese, and peanut butter. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Crack the egg into the mixture and blend well using a wooden spoon or electric mixer until a cohesive dough forms. The consistency should be firm and slightly sticky.
- If the dough seems too dry, add a small amount of water (1 tablespoon at a time) to help bind the ingredients. If too wet, sprinkle additional flour.
- Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface and roll it out to approximately 1/4 inch thickness using a rolling pin.
- Use dog bone-shaped cookie cutters or a knife to cut the dough into individual biscuits. Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving small spaces between each.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the biscuits are firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool completely on a wire rack before serving to your dog.
- Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Use natural, xylitol-free peanut butter to ensure your dog's safety.
- Choose a low-sodium cheese to keep the treats healthy.
- For dogs with wheat sensitivities, you can substitute whole wheat flour with oat or rice flour.
- Roll the dough evenly to ensure consistent baking and a professional look.
- Let biscuits cool completely to achieve the perfect crunch.
- For extra fun, experiment with different cookie cutter shapes to make treat time more exciting!
