German Loaf Cookies
Ingredients
2-1/2 Tbsp. fructose
1/2 C. egg substitute, or 1 large egg plus 2 large egg whites
4 Tbsp. softened margarine
juice and grated zest of a lemon
1/8 tsp. almond extract
1-1/2 C. sifted unbleached flour
2-3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Cooking Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Combine fructose and egg substitute; beat until light and fluffy. Add margarine, lemon juice, lemon zest, almond extract, flour, and baking powder. Mix well. Place 3/4 of the dough mixture on a floured board. Form into a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. Add cocoa and cinnamon to remaining dough and spread over rectangle. Fold both sides of dough into the middle to make a long, flattened log. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven and slice with a very sharp knife into 1/2-inch slices. Preheat broiler. Place slices on an ungreased baking sheet and broil for a few moments on each side, being careful, as these burn easily. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. "(John 3:16)
