Ingredients

1/2 cup I can't believe it's not butter light

3/4 cup plus 1/4 cup sugar, divided

1 tspn finely shredded lemon peel

1 tspn baking powder

1/4 tspn baking soda

1 egg

1/3 cup fat-free skim milk

2 tspns plus 2 Tablespoons lemon juice, divided

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup raspberry jam/jelly/preserves

Directions

1) In large mixing bowl, beat the margarine with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add 3/4 cup sugar, lemon zest,baking powder, and baking soda. Beat until combined.

2) Beat in egg,milk, and 2 tspns lemon juice

3) Beat in the flour, until combined.

4) Drop dough by rounded teaspoons on ungreased cookie sheet, and bake at 350 for 7 minutes (half-way point), pull out the cookies and use the back of a metal teaspoon to make a "thumbprint" to each cookie. If cookie sticks to spoon, use a little flour on the back of spoon. In each thumbprint place 1 tsp raspberry jelly/jam, return back to oven to continue to bake for 7 minutes.

5) After cookies are done, mix together 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice with 1/4 cup sugar and brush on all cookie tops.

This recipe made quite a bit of cookies. Nutrition info for these are (not including info for raspberry jam/jelly): Per cookie: 15 calories, .29g fat, .08g fiber. My boyfriend didn't know they were low-fat until after he had eaten about 10 of them. He said, "Wow, these are fantastic." Enjoy
