Method

  4. Gradually add the whole wheat flour (or oat flour), mixing until a firm dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it's manageable.

  5. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Use your favorite dog-bone shaped cookie cutters to cut out the cookies.
  6. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are firm to the touch.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This ensures they achieve their signature crunch.
