1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp canola oil
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
3/4 cup unsifted cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt


1. Set a rack in the upper third of the oven. Preheat to 350°F. Lightly oil
2 baking sheets or coat them with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Cook, swirling the pan,

mixing bowl Add sugar and oil; beat with an electric mixer until smooth.

mixture; mix on low speed until just combined. Divide the dough in half and
press each piece into a disk. (The recipe can be made ahead to this point.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Return to
room temperature before rolling out.)

4. Working with one disk at a time, roll dough on a lightly floured surface
to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Cut out cookies with small (about 2- to 2
1/2-inch) cookie cutters. Place the cookies about 1/2 inch apart on the
prepared baking sheets.

5. Bake in the upper third of the oven, 1 sheet at a time, for 5 to 7
minutes, or until slightly golden on the edges. Do not overbake. Transfer
cookies to wire racks to cool. (Store in an airtight container for up to 3

A few tips on healthy eating

If you wish to lose weight and also improve your overall well-being, among other things you really should eat a carefully configured healthy dietary regime. Theoretically, this should incorporate 5 helpings of fruit and vegetables each day and require the correct combination of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

In planning a dietary regime, you have to also attempt to cut down your ingestion of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.

At the start of a diet, people far too often direct your attention to department store and well known food items sold as 'low fat'. To do this is most certainly a miscalculation, as an item may be significantly reduced in fat, but nevertheless far too high in carbs.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Every now and then at some stage in a busy afternoon, you guess you need a snack but really you might want a healthy drink of water or squash. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are somewhat similar, albeit one leads to bad health and the other one leads to no damage.

Rather than dwelling on the many unhealthy foods that you ought to ban from your diet, concentrate on the healthy foods which you are able to add to your weight loss program. If you are able to insert some nutritious pulses and vegetables into your meal plan, you'll soon find that you feel more satisfied and have a far reduced probability of being seduced by those unwholesome mid-morning sweets and chocolate bars.
