Diabetic Exchanges
- 1/2 cup 60% to 70% tub-style vegetable oil spread
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar or sugar substitute blend* equivalent to 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed, or 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
- 1/2 cup finely chopped lightly salted dry roasted pistachio nuts
- Lemon Icing (optional)
1. In a large bowl, combine vegetable oil spread and butter; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until mixed. Beat in sugar and salt until well mixed. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour and the lemon peel.
2. Divide dough in half. Shape each dough portion into an 8-inch-long log. Sprinkle half of the pistachio nuts on a sheet of waxed paper. Roll one log in the nuts to coat. Repeat with remaining nuts and log. Wrap logs in plastic wrap. Chill about 2 hours or until firm enough to slice.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. If necessary, reshape logs to make them round. Cut logs crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or just until edges are firm and tops are set. Cool on cookie sheets for 1 minute. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool completely.
5. If desired, drizzle cookies with Lemon Icing. Let stand until icing is set.
*Sugar Substitutes: 6. Choose Splenda® Sugar Blend for Baking. Follow package directions to use product amount equivalent to 3/4 cup sugar.
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
- 2 - 3 tablespoons fat-free milk
