WEIGHT WATCHERS 2 SMART PT. PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

INGREDIENTS

  • 1  cup all-purpose flour
  • 14 teaspoon baking soda
  • 18 teaspoon table salt
  • 3  tablespoons reduced-calorie margarine, stick-variety
  • 2  tablespoons  reduced-fat peanut butter
  • 12 cup  packed light brown sugar
  • 14 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
