3. Form dough:

   • Once the dough is well mixed, use your hands or a spoon to form it into small balls or shapes of your choice. You can make traditional bone shapes, hearts, or simply roll the dough into small balls.

5. Bake the treats:

   • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the treats are golden brown and firm to the touch.

6. Cool and store:

   • Once the treats are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
