When I think of fall, Thanksgiving or Christmas, I always think of gingerbread in the oven on a cold afternoon in Pennsylvania. This recipe can be used for either of those holidays.

But, since it’s a favorite for many dogs, I wouldn’t just keep it for those times. Let your dog enjoy the taste of gingerbread year-round!

To make gingerbread bones, you can use a number of sizes of cookie cutters. No matter what the size, these easy treats won't last long!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

Directions

• Put all the ingredients in your bread maker in the order that your manual suggests.

• Set the bread maker for the dough setting.

• When the dough is ready, remove it and divide it into 3 portions.

• Roll each dough ball out to a thickness of ¼” or ½”—depending on the size bone you are making. The 3” bones work well at ¼” thick and the larger 5-8” bones are nice at ½” thick.

• Using bone cookie cutters, cut out the dog biscuits.

• Place them on a lightly greased baking sheet and let them rise for 30-60 minutes.

• Bake at 300 degrees F for about an hour, or until lightly browned.

• Turn off the oven and let the dog treats dry in the oven overnight.

• In the morning, check to make sure they hard and crisp. If they give when you push on them, put them in the oven for a little longer.

These dog bone treats are nice just as they are. But, for a festive holiday gift or treat, you might consider decorating your treats with a little dog treat icing and colored sugar or sprinkles.
