You might not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes italian seed cookies but it is possible. It is fundamental to not eat italian seed cookies or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself these kinds of food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1600 calories a day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I want – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last few weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet food. I have only been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also find it is helpful if you have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to show you how to monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Italian Seed Cookies

1 cup Crisco
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs plus 1 egg white (divided)
4 cups all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toasted sesame seeds*

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In medium bowl with electric mixer, blend shortening, sugar, 3 eggs, flour, baking powder, salt and vanilla extract. Break dough off in small balls and roll them in your palms to make oval logs about 2 to 3 inches long.

In separate bowl, beat egg white until foamy. Dip logs into egg white and roll in sesame seeds until covered.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Makes 3 to 4 dozen cookies

* Look for toasted sesame seeds in the Asian food section of stores. Two 3.75-ounce jars are plenty. To toast your own sesame seeds, place in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast until seeds turn light brown, shaking the pan to keep the seeds from scorching.
