The Recipe Instructions |

Ingredients
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs, (large)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon extract
3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp nutmeg, (optional)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sour cream
Directions
Cream shortening and sugar together at medium speed until well
blended. Add eggs and flavorings, and beat at medium speed until
creamy, scraping down the bowl before and after adding eggs and
flavorings. Stir flour, nutmeg if desired, baking powder, baking soda
and salt together to blend well; add, along with sour cream to
creamy. Cover and refrigerate from 3 hours to overnight. Return dough
to room temperature. Roll out on a lightly floured board to 1/4"
thick. Cut with a 2 1/2 round cutter or an equivalent (see Note
below). Place dough on cookie sheets that have been sprayed with pan
spray or lined luminum foil. Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes, or
until cookies are lightly browned. Remove them to a wire rack and
cool to room temperature.
NOTE: Nutritive values for these cookies are based on the use of
the 2 1/2 round cutter and weight of a little over 1 ounce per
cookie. You may use other cutters as long as the finished cookie
weighs about 1 ounce per cookie, and you might even make a 2-ounce
cookie and figure the nutritive value and exchanges as twice those
for the smaller cookie. You may add flavorings other than vanilla and
lemon; if add nuts, raisins and the like, however, you are altering
the nutritve values and exchanges for each cookie.

Amongst many other health and weight loss benefits, the nutrients in these are thought by doctors to help reduce the cancer risk in those prone to it.. Foods rich in flavonoids (inlcudes dark chocolate, broccoli, lima bean & cayenne) The large family of compounds known as flavonoids discovered in these types of food show promise in helping to prevent cancer. Doctors investigating the nutritional effects of flavonoids believe that they could have numerous other healthy properties, including anti-candida and anti-platelet activities.. The majority of these also have a low calorie count, so make sure you add them to your diet system. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index weight loss regime is based on the glycaemic index, a list of types of food and a score illustrating the rapidity that the glucose of the food gets changed to glucose in the dieters bloodstream. The theory is that slow release foods (ie those with a low Gi number), suppress your appetite and help to eat fewer food without feeling you are missing out. It is also extremely effective for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in preventing surges in blood sugar levels. |
