     Preheat oven to 350~ F (180~C).  Combine fructose and egg substitute;
   beat until light and fluffy.  Add margarine, lemon juice, lemon zest,
   almond extract, flour, and baking powder. Mix well. Place 3/4 of the dough
   mixture on a floured board.  Form into a rectangle about 3/4 inch (2 cm)
   thick.
     Add cocoa and cinnamon to remaining dough and spread over rectangle. Fold
   both sides of dough into the middle to make a long, flattened log. Place on
   ungreased baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, until lightly browned.
     Remove from oven and slice with a very sharp knife into 1/2 inch (1.5 cm)
   slices.  Preheat broiler. Place slices on an ungreased baking sheet and
   broil for a few moments on each side (be careful; these burn easily). Cool
   on a wire rack.  Store in an airtight container.
     Makes about 30 cookies.
