Instructions

    • 1

      Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and set aside. Measure the flour, wheat germ and oatmeal into medium-sized bowl. Mix well using wire whisk or a fork.

    • 2

      Break an egg into the small bowl and beat well. Add the egg, along with barbecue sauce, oil and water to the dry ingredients and mix well.

    • 3

      Place a sheet of waxed paper on a flat surface. Sprinkle half of the cornmeal onto the waxed paper. Knead dough into a ball and place it on the waxed paper. Flatten the dough and sprinkle with the remaining cornmeal.

    • 4

      Roll dough out to about a quarter inch in thickness using a rolling pin. Cut shapes from the dough using cookie cutters. Roll the remaining dough back into a ball, roll out and cut more cookies out until all the dough has been used.

      Place shapes onto cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Turn off heat and let cookies stand for several hours or overnight for very crunchy cookies (although you might want to let your pooch sample a taste).
