I bought a larger dog bone cookie cutter at a kitchen store (2 big labs ~ litter brother & sister), but you can use any cutter, any size, you want for your puppies.
Homemade DOG BISCUITS
BASIC:
2-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp garlic powder (helps keep bugs away)
1 tsp parsley flakes (good for their breath)
1 large egg, beaten
2 TB flavoring (i.e. bacon grease, chicken/beef stock, juice from canned tuna)
Combine all ingredients until thoroughly mixed (dough will be very stiff). Roll to about 1/4" thick and cut into shapes ~ Bake at 350 for 30 minutes on lightly greased/sprayed cookie sheet
***
GARLIC-CHEESE:
1-1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1-4 garlic cloves, minced
dash of salt
6-8 TB milk
Combine all ingredients, adding milk gradually to form a stiff dough. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Roll to 1/4” thick and cut into shapes. Bake on lightly sprayed cookie sheet at 375 for 15-20 minutes (or until edges are golden brown). Cool on rack ~ they will harden as they cool. Makes 1-1/2 to 2 dozen (depending on size of cutter)

2-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 eggs
1-1/4 cups pumpkin puree (not pie filling)

1/2 tsp cinnamon
Water (about ¼ cup)
Mix all ingredients together, adding water to make a stiff dough. Roll to 1/4" thick and cut into shapes. Bake at 350 for 20 min (softer) or 25-30 min. longer for harder treats. Cool on rack. Makes 2-3 dozen (depending on size of cutter)
