  Brenton’s Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

  (Yes, these are homemade treats for your dog!)

  2 cups whole wheat flour

  1 tablespoon baking powder

  1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)

  1 cup milk

  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix peanut butter and milk, then add to dry ingredients and mix well. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead. Roll dough to ¼-inch thickness and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Bake on a greased baking sheet until lightly brown, about 20 minutes—but watch them closely as they can burn easily. Cool on a rack, then store in an airtight container.
