1 pt Peanut Butter Cookies!

This one is for you Crystal - may all your dreams come true. :)

1 cup all-purpose flour


1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon table salt

3 tablespoons reduced-calorie margarine , stick-variety

2 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

1 large egg white

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

cooking spray (2 sprays)

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl; mix well and set aside.
Combine margarine and peanut butter in a mixing bowl; beat on medium speed until blended and smooth. Gradually add both sugars and beat until blended; add egg white and vanilla and beat until smooth. While beating on low speed, gradually add flour mixture and mix until just blended.
Transfer dough to a large piece of plastic wrap and roll into an 8-inch log. Wrap log in plastic wrap and freeze for 2 hours. (Note: You can make the cookie dough up to 3 days in advance and freeze until ready to bake.).

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat 2 large baking sheets with cooking spray.

Remove cookie dough from freezer and slice crosswise into about twenty-four 1/3-inch-thick slices; place slices 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden around edges, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Yields 1 cookie per serving.
