Dogs like homemade holidays cookies too! Treat your pooch with these tasty and festive looking "corn-dy canes".

1 cup corn flour or finely ground corn meal
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3 Tbs. honey
1/4 cup water
1 Tbs. oil
3 Tbs. finely grated raw beets

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix flours; add oil, water and honey. Mix well. Divide dough in two and add the raw beets to one half, mixing in well to color. Roll each half between your palms into 1/2 inch diameter log, and then twist the red and white logs together to make a striped cane. Roll the cane back and forth under your hands on a lightly floured board until it is 1/4 inch diameter. Cut to desired lengths and shape into small candy cane shapes. Transfer to lightly greased cookie sheet and bake until lightly golden and firm.

Yum!
