I made these today for my boys and they LOVE THEM!!!

2 teaspoons dry yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
2 tablespoons dry parsley
2 tablespoons minced garlic 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons honey
1 egg
5-6 cups whole wheat flour

Preheat oven to 350 ° F (180 ° C).

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in the parsley, garlic, broth, honey, and egg. Gradually blend in flour, adding enough to form a stiff dough.

Transfer to a floured surface and knead until smooth (about 3-5 minutes). Shape the dough into a ball, and roll to 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick. Using small bone-shaped cookie cutters, make biscuits! Transfer to ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 1/4 inch (6 mm) apart. Gather up the scraps, roll out again, and cut additional biscuits.

Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and turn over. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until lightly browned on both sides. Let cool overnight.
(You can spread all the biscuits out on one baking sheet and set them in the oven to cool overnight. The extra time in the oven as it cools off helps make the treats crispier and crunchier.)

I cut them out with my new cookie cutter. LOL!!!!

I just printed that off, and I will have to give it a try!

Wonder if regular all purpose flour would work. Olive's skin gets all itchy w/ wheat. Hmm. Maybe there's a bran flour or something I can use.

I use oatmeal instead of flour in Java's treats... they say a lot of dogs tolerate it better. You can put the whole oats through a Cuisanart or coffee grinder to break them up... I do that but I'm not so worried about the consistency... I prefer the "drop" kind of cookie.

I found some oat bran flour this weekend, so I'm going to give it a shot for their Easter cookies. Not a bad idea about using oatmeal though! I'll have to remember that.
