Category: Cookies

1 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
3 tbsp butter, softened
2 tbsp chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg white
Cooking spray

Combine first 3 ingredients, and set aside. Beat margarine and peanut butter at medium speed of a mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugars, beating at medium speed until well-blended. Add vanilla and egg white, and beat well. Add flour mixture; stir well. Turn dough out onto wax paper; shape into a 6-inch log. Wrap log in wax paper; freeze 3 hours.

Preheat oven to 350. Cut log into 24 (1/4-inch) slices, and place slices 1 inch apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool on wire racks.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Variation: Add 1 oz of grated semi-sweet chocolate to the flour mixture.
