Step 3

Stir the flour and the wheat germ into the peanut butter mixture until it is mixed well, then stir in the diced bacon.

Step 4

Roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface with the rolling pin, then cut into shapes using the cookie cutters. Re-roll and recut the dough to use it all.

Step 5

Place the treats on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.

Step 6

Put the treats into the heated oven and bake them for 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips

Always allow your homemade treats to cool thoroughly before serving them to your dog, to avoid burning his mouth and throat.

Cookies can be stored in an airtight container.

If you have a dog treat recipe that calls for honey, maple syrup can be substituted for the honey measure for measure to give the treats a different flavor.
