Low-fat Lemon Raspberry Cookies Recipe

Low-Fat Lemon Raspberry Cookies

From maria79161 16 years ago

These citrusy lemon cookies are very soft, and with a hint of Raspberry they are the perfect sweet treat!

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
