Layered Dog Cookie Jar Mix, Excellent idea for dog owners

Layered Dog Cookie Jar Mix

Ingredients:

* 1 cup unbleached or whole wheat flour
* 1 cup of oatmeal, blended into flour
* ½ cup cornmeal
* 2 tsp beef or chicken bouillon granules
* 1 tsp garlic powder
* 1 cup skim milk powder
* ½ cup grated parmesan cheese (I used the grated parmesan that is commercially made to sprinkle on pasta)
* ¼ cup (approximately) of flour, or enough to fill a one quart jar

Layer ingredients, in the order given, in a one quart jar, packing each layer firmly with the back of a spoon.

Print or write instructions on a tag,…..add a little bone or doggie cookie cutter for a special touch!

Preheat oven to 250° Fahrenheit.

Empty jar mix into a bowl. Stir together two eggs and 1 cup of hot water and add to mix. Combine with a fork until a stiff dough forms. Add a little flour or water if dough is too sticky or too dry to work.

Roll out dough on floured board to ½ inch thickness. Dip cookie cutters in flour before cutting out each cookie.

Place cookies close together on a baking sheet as they will not spread while baking. Bake for about 90 minutes, or until cookies are dry and hard, turning pan around at half time to ensure even cooking. You can turn off the heat, but leave the cookies in the oven to dry out without further cooking if necessary. Dog cookies are usually baked until they are hard and crunchy. Let cool completely before storing in an airtight jar.
