Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs (parsley and basil)
- 1 egg
- ½ cup chicken or beef broth
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your treats bake evenly.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh herbs and mix well.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 1 egg and ½ cup of chicken or beef broth.
- Combine Both Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If it seems too dry, add a little more broth until it binds well.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick. This thickness helps the treats bake properly without being too hard.
- Cut into Shapes: Use cookie cutters to cut out fun shapes. I like to use bone or paw print shapes, but any shape will work!
- Prepare for Baking: Place the cutouts on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure to leave some space between each treat.
- Bake: Put the treats in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden and firm to the touch.
- Cool: Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
