Christmas Stars Recipe

Recipe Ingredients


COOKIES

1 cup solid shortening (not butter)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond flavoring
2 3/4 cup flour

FROSTING

1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp cream or milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla (not mexican, unless you li, ke tan frosting)
1 food coloring

Recipe Preparation

Cream together the shortening and sugar. Beat in the eggs, salt and
flavorings. Stir in the flour until blended. Chill in the
refrigerator for an hour or two.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out on a floured surface to a
thickness of about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Cut with the cookie cutters of
your choice (this was always a cause for argument in our family).
Bake on ungreased cookie sheets until tan around the edges, about
8-10 minutes. Allow to cool.

Make the frosting by beating together the sugar, milk and vanilla
until smooth. Divide and color each portion. Frost the cookies.

NOTES:

* Frosted cookie-cutter cookies -- My mom got this recipe many years
ago in a cookbook that came in installments, so it didn't have a name
on the binder and I don't know what it was called. She had us (the
kids) make these cookies every year. Yield: 2-4 dozen.

* These cookies are about the only ones I know that taste better
cooked and cold than as raw dough.

* Cinnamon red hots make good eyes for animals or Santas.

: Difficulty: easy to moderate.
: Time: 15 minutes preparation, 2 hours chilling, 15 minutes rolling
and baking.
: Precision: measure the ingredients.

Food Tips of the Week

Dieting made easy

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
Some lower carb diet tips:
* Use soya flour or baking mix. When you need to use flour for baking, repalce it with soya flour or a bake mix such as Atkins soy baking mix. Most of the time, you can change your favorite recipes that use wheat flour to use these low carbohydrate alternatives.

* Use splenda instead of sugar. Most recipes that need sugar can be adapted to make use of a sugar replacement instead. It doesn't weigh the same so you will need to experiment a little and it might not work for every recipe, but it does bake up nice most of the time.

Lycopene super foods
(includes watermelon, red bell peppers & sweet gourd)

The nutrient lypcopene is a non-synthetic compound and part of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. It is the reason for the vivid red color of a good number of foods.

Intrestingly, unlike many other nutrients, lycopene is not damaged if it is cooked, but is observably increased in efficacy by being cooked.

. Its key theraputic value is that it acts as an antioxidant and seems to be of use in the battle to lower the probabilty of developing cancer.

This useful phytochemical is the most effective quencher of singlet oxygen, which is connected with skin aging. It is also believed to slow down the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
