Lemon Raspberry Bars
The flavors of fresh lemon and raspberry give these cookie bars an explosion of taste!

Recipe Ingredients:
Crust:
3/4 cup Splenda® Granular
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup light butter
Pinch of salt

Filling:
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups Splenda® Granular
1/2 cup egg substitute (or 2 large eggs)
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated fresh lemon peel
1/4 cup reduced sugar raspberry preserves

Cooking Directions:
1 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8x8x2-inch-baking pan generously with butter flavored nonstick spray. Set aside.
2 - Mix together flour, Splenda® Granular and salt in a medium sized mixing bowl. Cut in light butter until the mixture is crumbly, like a streusel topping. Do Not over mix. Press dough into prepared baking pan.
3 - Bake in preheated oven 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
4 - Place Splenda® Granular and flour in a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir well. Add egg substitute and half-and-half. Stir until blended. Slowly add lemon juice while stirring constantly. Add lemon peel.
5 - Stir raspberry preserves until they loosen up. Spread evenly over warm crust.
6 - Gently pour lemon mixture over preserves. Bake in preheated oven 20 to 25 minutes or until set. Remove from oven and allow to cool before placing in refrigerator.
7 - Chill in refrigerator 2 hours before serving.
