*Dessert: Lemon Cookies Dipped in Chocolate and Pecans ** * *One half cup butter One half cup sugar 1 and one half cup flour 1 Tbsp. lemon juice 1 tsp. lemon zest One half cup chocolate bark One quarter cup pecans, finely chopped
Place butter, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a food processor and process until dough forms. Divide dough into 2 equal parts and roll into a log. Wrap each log in wax paper and chill until firm. Cut into one half inch pieces and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minute at 325 degrees. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Meanwhile melt the chocolate bark according to directions on the package. (We find it easier to melt chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave and stir halfway during the cooking time. When chocolate is melted, dip one end of each cookie in the chocolate and then in the pecans. Allow to cool on wax paper. The Skinny: Use your favorite sugar substitute. *
