Here is a recipe for dog biscuits that my dogs just love.

Ingredients:
1 cup oatmeal
1/3 cup margarine
1 tablespoon beef boullion granules
5 1/2 cups hot water
1 tablespoon garlic powder (optional)
3/4 cup powdered milk
3/4 cup corn meal
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 egg  (beaten)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Put the oatmeal, margarine and boullion in separate bowl and pour the hot water over it.  Let stand for 6 minutes.

Stir in milk, cornmeal and egg.  Add flour 1/2 cup at a time mixing well after each addition.

Knead on floured surface for 3-4 minutes adding more flour if necessary to form a very stiff dough.

Roll dough to 1/2″ thickness and cut into shapes with your favorite doggy cookie cutter.

Bake at 325 degrees on parchment paper for 50 minutes.  Allow to cool and dry out until hard.  Store in air tight container.
