Cheese Biscuits

Yield: 1 batch

Boil water. Combine oats, butter and water. Let stand ten minutes. Stir in cornmeal, sugar, bouillon, milk, cheese and egg. Mix well. Add flour, a cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to form a stiff dough. On floured surface, knead in remaining flour until dough is smooth and no longer sticky, 3 to 4 minutes. Roll or pat out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with bone shaped cookie cutter. Place 1-inch apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake in preheated 325 degree oven 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.

Archie Squares

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly oil a cookie sheet. Combine flour, dry milk, garlic powder and sugar. Cut in meat drippings until mixture resembles corn meal. Mix in egg. Add enough water so that mixture forms a ball. Using your fingers, pat out dough onto cookie sheet to 1/2" thick. Cut dough into squares appropriate for your dog size. Prick each cookie with fork. Bake 25-30 minutes. Remove from tray and cool on rack. Store in airtight container.

Using a food processor or a stand mixer, mix together all ingredients.  Roll out dough and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Score the dough with pizza cutter or other crimping tool into any size or pattern you like. For morning cookies, make them bigger. For training treats, make them really small.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until nicely browned. Turn off oven, and allow the cookies to remain on the tray in the oven for one hour to overnight. The longer you leave them in the oven the harder and crisper they will become.  Break cookies apart and store tightly covered. Put them in plastic zip bags and place in freezer.  Pull out as many as you want when needed.

If you want to serve them to human company, cut them into match stick sized pieces, and bake only until lightly brown. Sprinkle them with coarse salt as they come out of the oven.
