Candy Cane Cookies
2 cup Butter
1 1/2 cup Sugar
4 each Egg yolks
2 tsp Vanilla
4 1/2 cup Unbleached flour
1/2 tsp Salt
3 tbsp Peppermint candy
Red food colouring


Cream together butter and sugar. Add egg yolks and vanilla and mix
well. Sift flour and salt together and beat into butter mixture until
well mixed. When ready, divide dough in half. To one half, add 1/2
ts. red food colouring. Using about a tablespoon of dough, roll a 4"
strip of each colour (no fatter than a pencil). Place the two
coloured rolls side-by-side and press lightly together. Gently twist
like a rope and place on an ungreased cookie sheet 1" apart. Curve
the top like a candy cane and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 F. for
about 15 minutes; do not brown. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint
candy before cool. Makes 20-30 medium cookies. Personal Note: After
trial and error, I found that it is easier to take each tablespoon of
cookie dough and roll in hands to form rough cylinder. Then put on
flat surface vertically. Using fingers and palm in same direction,
gently roll left and right until the size of a pencil. (the dough,
that is):) Pick a time to do these cookies when you're feeling
creative and have patience. It's fun and they are yummy! The end
product is worth the trouble.

Serves: 30

A few tips on healthy eating

If you enjoy eating, but want to become slim and better your overall healthiness, then, as most people know, you should commence a meticulously calculated well-balanced daily routine. In theory, this needs to take in five measures of pulses and vegetables every day and also require a sensible fusion of protein, carbs and fats.

In deciding on a dietary regime, you have to make efforts to decrease your ingestion of refined carbohydrate, fats and salt.

When buying food, dieters far too often focus on supermarket and branded products professing to be 'low-fat'. This is far too often foolish, as a food may be very low in fats, but whilst still being contain far too many carbs & calories.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Your body needs plain water , it is indispensable for our body's health and has no calories and fat. It also fills the drinker's belly and reduces sensations of emptiness. Some experts claim it is best to consume as high as 6 tumblers of plain water each day.

Rather than paying too much attention to the many foods you need to ban from your diet, focus on the "good" foods that you should add to your daily routine. If one can manage to insert the recommended amount nourishing fruit & veg into your daily routine, you'll find that stop feeling hungry and have a far decreased chance of being seduced by those unwholesome midday biscuits.
