YUM! Peanut Butter Cookies - on a diet?!?! YES! 1 cookie = 1 point. Ingredients:
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) |
Directions:
1. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl; mix well and set aside.
2. 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.
3. 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.).
4. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat 2 large baking sheets with cooking spray.
5. 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.
6. Flavor Booster: Browned margarine has a nutty flavor that enhances a peanut butter cookie. Melt the margarine in a small skillet until it sizzles and just begins to brown. Remove from heat and freeze for 20 minutes, or until firm, before using in recipe.
