And now for something completely different as we head into this last week before Christmas. I thought I’d share with you two of my favorite Christmas Cookie recipe’s since this is my weekend to trash the kitchen. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not You Will Love these cookies!

The first one is a Christmas Cookie Recipe   handed down to my full blooded Hungarian Grandmother from her mother and passed on to me. I was fortunate that my Grandparents lived with us and as I was growing up I learned how to make many delicious family recipe’s at my grandmother’s side.

The recipe is a Walnut filled pastry type cookie called Kiefleys. We have a local bakery near us here in Eastern Pennsylvania that sells a similar cookie they call Kiffles but they do not hold a candle to my grandmother’s Kiefley Cookie recipe.

Kiefleys:

Ingredients:

• 8 Eggs (Separated – Yolks for the Dough, Whites for the Filling)
• 1LB Butter (Softened – For the dough)
• 8 Tablespoons Sugar (filling)
• 2 yeast cakes or 2 packets of activated dry yeast
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup of hot but not boiling water
• 1 Teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 3Tablespoons light cream to moisten
• Pinch Salt
• 4 Cups Flour
• 2 LBS Walnuts Ground Fine
• 2 Cups Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon

Start by Making the dough. First separate 8 eggs. Egg whites in a medium glass mixing bowl and 8 egg yolks into a large bowl. Be careful not to break the yolks when separating or the whites will be ruined. set aside bowl with the egg whites.

To the bowl with the egg yolks add 1 lb of softened butter, a pinch of salt, mix together the 2 yeast cakes or 2 yeast packets with the warm water until yeast is melted in the water and add to the bowl with the butter and eggs. Beat together and gradually add 4 cups of flour. You can do this with a mixer with dough hooks or like my grandmother did, with a wooden spoon. Add light cream to moisten the dough a bit if it is too dry to hold together. Refrigerate overnight.

Make the filling the day you will be rolling out the dough.

The Kiefley filling : mix together Sugar, Cinnamon, vanilla and the ground walnuts. Then take your bowl with the egg whites and beat at high speed about 4 to 5 minutes until it forms stiff peaks. Then fold into the walnut mixture.

Now get out your dough. Flour a wooden or plastic board. Make a ball about the size o a softball and roll out very thin. Take a sharp paring knife and cut dough into triangles or squares (Your Preference) about 2 and a half inches long. add about a teaspoon of filling and roll up. you can moisten the tip with a bit of the light cream to seal it. Place on a cookie sheet covered with parchment.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 5 to 8 minuter or until Golden brown. remove from oven. Cool slightly and then roll in Confectioners sugar! The image above shows them sprinkled in powdered sugar. My family dredges them in the sugar. Hey if your gonna do it why not go all out!

These are a lot of work but I get my 2 sons to help me and it goes fast and has made for a nice family tradition that they look forward to every year and the cookies are to die for!

Hope you enjoyed this post. I’ll add another of my Christmas cookie fattening favorites tomorrow. If you liked this post please use the like and share button below and post your comment.

What is the #1 reason 98% of people fail at a business op? That’s right 97 to 98% of business op owners will give up in 3 months or less. Why is that? One of the main reasons behind this phenomenon is that people just flat out run out of money. The majority of them got in on a wing and a prayer but had next to no advertising budget to get them started.

They have no cash flow and they cancel their auto-ship within 3 months. They simply don’t have enough money coming in through the business to cover monthly fees, tools, and auto-ships let alone having extra to spend on paid marketing.

Think about this… You are in a business op and you have worn out your warm market 3 times over and your friends have stopped answering your calls. You seriously need leads! You look to the internet and after hours and hours of browsing through tons of worthless garbage, you have a breakthrough. You start to understand the concept of having a funded proposal.

A funded proposal is a generic product, system or course which you can market up front to generate the leads and sales to fund and help build your primary business. The cool thing about this is that whether people join your primary business op or not, you are still in a position to profit from those who say no. There is still no guarantee you actually will profit. You now think you have it all figured out although now you are spending money for hosting accounts and auto-responders and membership sites.

So now you have to rob from Peter to pay Paul and and you come up with some cash to get some paid traffic to jump start your lead flow. It works and now you are generating leads and you actually make a couple of sales from your business op! This is great but then the reality hits that you won’t get the money for another full month!

Just when you thought things were working out you have to wait 4 to 8 weeks to even get a check you can cash. In the meantime you have bills to pay and your membership and auto-responder fees and by the time you get a check you are back to square one!

Sounds like a backwards way to build a business doesn’t it? I totally agree. Something new and unheard of has showed up on the scene and in the last 4 weeks 10,755 people realized the scenario I described above was bass akwards also and jumped at this revolutionary new solution to the problem! When did it become OK to get paid only 20 or 30% for our hard work?

If You’ve heard enough and want to know the solution that is now working for those 10,755 business op people  that were struggling just like you but have stumbled into a program that is rewriting the way people get paid for their effort with 100% commissions, click on the link below and enter your information.

Is Empower Network a new Network Marketing business or an affiliate program? ANSWER: AFFILIATE PROGRAM…

Can “empower network” be used as a funded-proposal or can it be a stand alone Home business? ANSWER: BOTH!

Empower Network

The Empower Network (empowernetwork.com) is the brainchild of David Sharpe and David Wood. Their  one of a kind, 100% commissions business model, was launched October 31st 2011.

Hey folks,

Just a quick update today to give the latest Empower Network Audio Of the Week.

It’s a replay of the wild Empower Hour Call we had Monday night which ended up lasting 2 hours with over 1200 people on the line. It’s a bit loud in the beginning with all these people introducing themselves so just bear with the first few minutes until they are muted out. You’ll be glad you did!

At our current growth, we’ll have 10,000 active, paid members within 6 days (maybe 5) – and I believe that we have a window there for our growth to double. We should also hit $1,000,000.00 in commissions paid out directly into members bank accounts by midnight tonight. Time to celebrate! Just in time for Thanksgiving!

Not bad for only being open 23 days!

Our blogging strategy is helping people all over the world, in the Network Marketing, internet marketing, and even non related niches get more traffic and sales – and it’s just getting better.

I want you to listen to this recording of Monday night’s Empower Network call, and hear the passion, the enthusiasm, the vision – not just from us, also from the ‘little people’ who were never really given a chance…

…here you go:

Also, Welcome to those of you who joined with me in the last 2 weeks! This is an exciting time especially for those who have struggled previously to make money online.
