Ingredients for Anise Holiday Dog Treats

• 1½ cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup unbleached flour
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/3 cup bran
• 1 ½ teaspoons dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon anise seeds
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 2 teaspoons red food coloring or beet powder (to get the color desired)
• 7/8 cup water

Directions

• Place everything in the bread machine on the dough cycle.

• When the dough is ready, roll it to1/4” thick with a rolling pin.

• Cut into mini dog bone shapes and bake at 250 degrees F for about an hour. Check to make sure that they don't get too brown.

• Turn off the oven and let the mini dog bones dry completely in the oven—best overnight.

That's all there is to it! It doesn't take a lot of your time, especially if you use a bread machine to make the dough. The mini dog bones can bake while you do something else.

However, be aware that you will have to keep an eye on the dogs when these delightful dog cookies come out of the oven. They'll just LOVE anise dog treats!
