Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup stock chicken, beef, vegetable, or water, 59 g
- 2 bacon slices 66 g
- 1 ¼ cup whole wheat flour 162 g
- Extra flour for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Cut bacon slices into small bits and fry in a cast iron skillet over medium to medium low heat until crispy. Transfer the bacon bits to a plate and allow it to cool. Reserve the bacon fat and transfer it to a medium mixing bowl to cool slightly.
- To the cooled bacon fat, add egg and stock and beat until smooth. Fold in the whole wheat flour along with the bacon bits and knead until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough out to about ¼” thick on a floured countertop. Cut into small cookies using a 2” bone shaped cookie cutter. Reroll the scraps and continue cutting until the dough is all gone.
- Place treats on a baking sheet between ½” to 1” apart. Bake for 20 minutes. Rotate pan, flip treats, reduce oven temperature to 300°F and bake for another 20-30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet set on top of a wire rack.
- Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Cooked bacon will yield about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat (21 g) and less than ¼ cup of bacon bits (16 g). Use these measurements to substitute ground chicken, turkey or other chopped up cooked meat and oil if desired.
- The amount of treats you’ll get from this recipe depends on the size of your cookie cutter. I use a 2” bone shaped cutter.
- For larger treats, bake them longer at lower oven temperature so they can properly dry out without burning.
