Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup sugar substitute
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup dried cherries
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Line a rimless baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, beat together sugar substitute, eggs, and egg yolk; beat in oil, lemon rind, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and dried cherries. Stir into egg mixture.
- Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface. Roll each half into a 12 inch (30 cm) long log. Place logs 2 inches (5 cm) apart on prepared baking sheet; flatten logs to 3/4 inch (2 cm) thickness, leaving slightly rounded tops.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let logs cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; with a serrated knife or electric knife, cut diagonally into 1/2 inch (1cm) thick slices. Bake an additional 15 minutes at 350 degrees rotating pans halfway through baking time. Transfer to racks and let cool.
