I saw this cute recipe of  paw print treats for your deaf dogs on Martha Stewart on-line and I thought I would share this recipe so maybe you can bake up some yummy doggy treats for your pups. I love the idea of using your fingers to make little paw prints on each dog cookie. You could also try doing a heart shaped cookie and then in the main body of the heart shaped cookie, you would put the paw print. This way it would be perfect for your furry loved ones. Happy baking! ~ Christina Lee – Deaf Dogs Rock

Pups will beg for more of these wholesome treats!

 

Ingredients

Makes about 2 dozen

 

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface

1/2 cup wheat germ

1/2 cup brewer’s yeast

2 teaspoons salt

3 tablespoons canola oil

1 1/2 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock

Directions

 

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Combine flour, wheat germ, brewer’s yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Place canola oil in a large bowl. Add flour mixture to oil in 3 additions, alternating with 1 cup stock; mix until combined.

 

2. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for 2 minutes (dough will be sticky). Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out rounds using a 2-inch fluted cutter (bakedeco.com). Transfer to baking sheets. Make an indentation toward the bottom of 1 circle using your thumb, then press dough to make an arch of 4 small circles on top of the thumbprint using the tip of your pinky. Repeat with remaining rounds. Freeze for 15 minutes. Bake for 20 minutes, rotating sheets and lightly brushing with remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock halfway through. Turn oven off, and let stand in oven for 40 minutes.
