Homemade Dog Treats

What You Need:

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup powdered milk
• 1/2 cup wheat germ
• 1 large egg, slightly beaten
• 6 tbsp. Crisco
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup flaxseed (optional, but healthy!)

What You Do:

1. Show your child how to preheat the oven to 325° F.
2. Have your child combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Cut in the Crisco; help your child add in the egg and water to the mixture.
4. Ask your child to stir in the flaxseed, if you are including it.
5. Invite your child to roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface until it reaches about 1/2-inch thickness. Have him use cookie cutters in his favorite holiday shapes to cut up the dough.
6. Bake the biscuits for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
