INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Equipment: Cookie sheets lined with parchment or aluminum foil;
rolling pin; 3-31/2" bone cutter or 2 1/2" round cookie cutter.  Place
2 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat  oven
to 300F.  Sprinkle the dry yeast or crumple the compressed yeast over
the water  (110F if dry yeast, 100F if compressed yeast).  Add a pinch
of sugar  and allow the yeast to sit in a draft-free spot for 10-20
minutes.  The mixture should be full of bubbles.  If not, the yeast is
too old  to be useful.  In a large bowl, place all the dry ingredients
and stir to blend  them. Add the yeast mixture and 3 cups of the broth.
Using your  hands, in the bowl, mix to form the dough, adding more
broth if  needed to make the dough smooth and supple.  Half a batch at
a time,  knead the dough briefly on a lightly floured counter.  (Keep
the  second batch of dough covered with a moist towel while shaping and
cutting the first.)  Roll out the dough into an 18 x 13 x 1/4"
rectangle.  Cut it into  desired shapes, using a 3 - 3 1/2-inch bone
cutter or a 2 1/2-inch  round cookie cutter.  Reroll the scraps.
Repeat the procedure with  the remaining dough.  For an attractive
shine, lightly beat together the egg and milk.  Brush the glaze on the
cookies.  Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until brown and firm.  For even
baking,  rotate the cookie sheets from top to bottom three quarters of
the way  through the baking period.  Use a small, angled metal spatula
or pancake turner to transfer the  cookies to wire racks to cool
completely.  Store in an airtight container at room temperature.  The
dough must  be used immediately.  The baked cookies will keep for many
months.  Allow cookie sheets to cool completely between batches.  From:

A Message from our Provider:

“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
