Directions

Step #1 In a large bowl beat together the butter, oil, sugar substitute until mixd.
Step #2 Add in the egg/egg substitute, salt, baking powder & vanilla.
Step #3 Using your mixer, beat in the corn meal & as much of the flour as you can.
Step #4 If the dough becomes too stiff, mix in the rest of the flour by hand.
Step #5 Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic & chill for two hrs.
Step #6 While the dough is chilling, prepare your filling by adding all ingredients to a small saucepan.
Step #7 Bring the mix to a boil & reduce to a lower simmer.
Step #8 Cook for 5 mins, stirring regularly, until the filling is thickened.
Step #9 Transfer to a mini-chopper or use an immersion mixer to puree the mix until smooth.
Step #10 Allow to cool completely.
Step #11 Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Step #12 (Note you are using untreated cookie sheets here.
Step #13 ) Roll out the first disc of dough until it is 1/8 inch thick.
Step #14 Using the larger cookie cutter, cut out cookies & transfer to the baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Step #15 Bake for 5 mins until the edges of the cookie are firm but not browned.
Step #16 Remove from oven & transfer to a wire rack.
Step #17 With the second disc of dough, repeat as above except that you will be using the smaller cutter to create a window in the cookies for the tops.
Step #18 In doing so, carefully place the smaller cookie cutters on the shapes made by the larger cutters in a manner so that the sides around the center hole are even.
Step #19 To assemble the linzer cookies, first apply a light dusting of powdered sugar on the top cookies (those with the cutouts).
Step #20 Spread a small amount of the raspberry-fig filling on the bottom cookie.
Step #21 Gently take the top cookies by the edges & line the top cookie over the filling pressing down ever so slightly.
