    Ingredients

      1/2 C raspberries, crushed
      1 C margarine
      1 C splenda
      2 tsp vanilla
      2 egg yolks
      2-1/2 C sifted flour
      1 C chopped pecans


    Place raspberries in blender, blend at low speed until raspberries are crushed but not liquid. Place margarine, splenda, vanilla and egg yolks in a bowl. Beat at high speed until light and fluffy.

    Gradually stir in flour as you continue to beat.

    When completely blended, shape into a ball and place in a plastic bag or plastic wrap. Put in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

    Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Remove dough from the refrigerator. Shape dough into 1" balls. Place balls on cookie sheet 1-1/2" apart.

    Using a wooden spoon, make an indentation in the center of each cookie. Fill each cookie with 1 teaspoon of fresh, crushed raspberries.

    Bake cookies for 20 minutes. Remove to cooling racks.
