Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter, softened

Instructions
1Make the dough
2In a small bowl, combine the flour and cheese. Stir in the butter until combined. Gradually add the milk just until moistened. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and cohesive, 8 to 10 times.
3Cut the treats and bake
4Preheat the oven to 350°F. Roll the dough into a 12x9-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 3x1-inch strips or shape with a bone-shaped cutter. Place on ungreased baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand in the oven with the door slightly open until cooled completely.
