\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bake a batch of these crunchy dog biscuits with your kids for a great Christmas doggie gift or a snow or rainy day activity.\u00a0 This simple recipe goes together in minutes, and young kids will have an easy and satisfying time rolling out or patting down the pliable dough to create shapes with cute cookie cutters.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ingredients you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n
2 cups whole-wheat flour<\/p>\n
1 tablespoon baking powder<\/p>\n
1 cup peanut butter at room temperature<\/p>\n
1 cup whole milk<\/p>\n
\u00bd teaspoon salt<\/p>\n
All purpose flour for rolling the dough<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
After you set the oven to 375 degrees, here\u2019s how to get the kids involved:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Step 1: Let one child measure and combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Another child may measure and stir the peanut butter and milk together in a smaller mixing bowl.\u00a0 It will take a minute or two until the mixture is smooth.\u00a0 Slowly pour it into the dry ingredients and stir until well-combined.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Sprinkle flour on the counter.\u00a0 Knead the dough a few times until it is easy to roll out into a \u00bc inch rectangle with a lightly floured rolling pin.\u00a0 Cut with cookie cutters in fun shapes such as a fire hydrant, bone, kitty heart or X\u2019s and O\u2018s and transfer to greased (or parchment paper covered) cookie sheets.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Bake 20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.\u00a0 Let cool.<\/p>\n
