cookie cutters
1 cup uncooked oatmeal
1-1/2 cup hot water or meat juice/broth
1 cup grated cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup powdered milk
4 cups whole wheat flour
Preheat oven to 300° F. In large bowl pour hot water over oatmeal and margarine: let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in powdered milk, grated cheese, salt and egg. Add wheat germ. Mix well. Add flour, 1/3 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Knead 3 or 4 minutes, adding more flour if necessary to make a very stiff dough. Pat or roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutters and place on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Turn off heat and leave in oven for 1-1/2 hours or longer.
