Provided by Ina Garten

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 to 20 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups stone-ground whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered or dry milk
1/2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant), plus extra for sprinkling
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the two flours, the powdered milk, oatmeal, peanut butter and wheat germ. With the mixer on low speed, add the extra-large egg and 1 cup of water and mix just until it forms a slightly sticky ball.
  • Dump the dough out on a well-floured board (I use all-purpose flour) and knead it into a ball. Roll the dough out 1/2-inch thick. Dip a cookie cutter in flour and cut out dog bone shapes. Collect the scraps, knead lightly, roll out again and cut more dog biscuits.
  • Place the biscuits on the prepared sheet pan and brush with the egg wash. Sprinkle with oatmeal and bake for 1 hour, until completely hard. Cool and toss.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use creamy peanut butter. Natural peanut butter can be used, but it may result in a drier cookie.
  • To make the cookies chewier, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to cream the butter and peanut butter together until light and fluffy.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can result in tough cookies.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
