Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 cups organic whole-wheat flour
• ¼ cup of brewers yeast
• 1 tbsp. baking powder
• 1 cup organic peanut butter (unsalted, unsweetened or natural style)
• 1 cup organic low-fat milk
• 2 large mixing bowls
• Rolling pin
• Cookie cutter
• Baking sheet
• Cooling rack

1. Combine 2 cups of flour, ¼ cup of brewers yeast and 1 tbsp. of baking powder in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly.

2. Mix 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of room temperature peanut butter in a separate bowl until peanut butter is dissolved and there are no chunks. Be patient, this takes a few minutes to do right.

3. Add the milk and peanut butter mixture to the flour mixture bowl. Stir until the liquid is absorbed and the mix is dough-like.

4. Pour the dough mixture onto a clean counter. Knead the dough until all the wet and dry ingredients are completely combined.

5. Roll the dough out to a ¼ inch thickness and cut the dough into shapes with a cookie cutter.

6. Bake the cookies on a baking sheet at 375 degrees F until golden brown. The time needed for baking will differ with the size of cookie cutter you use, ranging from about 8 to 12 minutes.

7. Cool the cookies on a cooling rack until cool to the touch and store them in plastic containers or zip bags.

Tips & Warnings

• A wire whisk is the best tool for mixing the peanut butter and milk.
• If your dough is warm from the hand kneading, refrigerate it for a few minutes so it won’t be too sticky to roll.
• This recipe can be easily doubled to share with your friend’s dog.
• A bone shaped cookie cutter adds a fun touch.
