Roll out the dough to the thickness you desire and cut out as many biscuits as you can being careful not to waste too much of the dough. Larger dogs will prefer larger, thicker biscuits with a more satisfying crunch, whereas smaller dogs won't be able to fit their jaws around big biscuits.[[Image:Creamdogbics4.png|160px|thumb|right]]
