                        - Place raspberries in a saucepan on medium heat. Stir  occasionally so they do not burn. 
 
                        - When the raspberries have dissolved and are at a soft boil  (around 10 mins), add sweetener. 
 
                        - Continue stirring and bring to a boil. 
 
                        - Cook another 5-10 mins allowing mixture to thicken. 
 
                        - Add lemon juice and stir.

                        - Set aside and allow to cool. Mixture will thicken when cool. 
 
                      
                      Dough: 
                      
                        - Preheat oven to 350°F. 
 
                        - Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking  spray.
 
                        - Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. 
 
                        - Add wet ingredients. 
 
                        - Slowly and gently combine ingredients well until you have a  pasty dough. 
 
                        - With wet hands, roll dough into a ball. 
 
                      
                      Cookie Assembly: 
                      
                        - With wet hands, spread dough in a very thin layer between  1/8”-1/4” thick.
 
                        - Using a round cookie cutter or glass, cut dough into circles  approximately 3” wide.
 
                        - Roll remaining dough back into a ball, spread out again and make  more circles until you’ve used up all dough. You can shape the last one by  hand.
 
                        - Spoon a teaspoon of raspberry filling into the center of each  circle.
 
                        - Pinch the dough at the top of the circle.
 
                        - Lift up the bottom of the circle pinching two more corners  forming a triangle.
 
                        - Place on baking sheet.
 
                        - Bake for approximately 15 mins until the dough has browned.
 
                        - Remove from the oven and cool.
 
                        - Enjoy!
