These are pretty easy to make - it's a quick dough made from normal ingredients that I had on hand (except the wheat germ) that you roll, cut out, bake, and can even personalize (although I chose not to - the recipe calls for cream cheese mixed with flour to pipe names on the cookies but I am shipping these and don't think the cream cheese is going to hold it's shape in the mail. I did add "frosting" to the tops of a couple stockings before realizing it's not practical for me to send them that way).
I thought I had a bone shaped cookie cutter but I don't - so made big stockings, medium scotties, and small stars instead. This recipe made a lot of cookies!
I packaged them in these ziplock gift baggies that I found at a dollar store and will get them out in the mail tomorrow. I better have Sarge taste taste them though before I do :).

2/2024 UPDATE: once again the link to a recipe I posted stopped working - I think I learned my lesson in later years to not just link the recipe but to also print it! I cannot find the original recipe I followed but this different one I found on myrecipes seems right:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- ¾ cup toasted wheat germ
- ¼ cup brewers yeast
- ⅓ cup natural chunky peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup low sodium chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large shallow baking sheet with parchment paper.
