Doggie Snacks

[clw4514]

This is my Shih Tzu's favorite snack!  I hope your 4 legged baby enjoys them as well.  Its so easy to forget about the one's who cannot speak during the holidays.  Spread a little joy and put these in a gift basket for friends who have pets.  They are a huge hit with mine.  And its also a great project for the kids to help out with.

• 3/4 c hot water or meat juices
• 1/2 c margarine
• 1/2 c powdered milk
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3 c whole wheat flour

in a large bowl, pour hot water over margarine.  add powdered milk, salt, sugar and egg, mix well.  add flour 1/2 c at a time mixing well after each addition.  knead 3 to 4 minutes adding more flour if necessary to make a stiff dough.  Pat or roll out to 1/2 inch thickness and cut out w/ a dog biscuit cutter.  Place on greased baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes.  Allow to cool and dry out until hard.

 To give as gifts, I wrap these in saran wrap, tie off with stick type chewies and curling ribbon.  Enjoy!!
