Barley dog cookies

For all you dog lovers out there, I have a very special cookie recipe from my friend, Dot Ferneyhough, that will sure please your beloved pets (and maybe your husbands too as Dot’s husband can attest). So make a double batch to put under the Christmas tree this season.

Barley Dog Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

Makes about 16

• 2 cups barley flour

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal

• 1/3 cup shredded cheddar

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper; set aside.

2. In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients and about 3 tablespoons water to form a dough. Roll out mixture between two sheets of plastic wrap to 1/4-inch thick; remove plastic wrap and cut out biscuits with a 3 1/2-inch bone-shaped cookie cutter. Reroll scraps and continue cutting out biscuits.

3. Space biscuits 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes until nicely browned and firm.

4. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack. Turn off oven and place biscuits on wire rack in oven overnight. Remove from oven and store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
