Peanut Butter Cookies

Here is the peanut butter cookie recipe. I got the recipe from one of the YouTube channels I watch. I think the points were based on the old system, so they were called 1 point peanut butter cookies. When I added the nutritional info provided, they came out to 2P+. You could probably cut them thinner or make them smaller to make them 1 P+. But regardless they are good.

What You Need

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/8 teaspoon salt

- 3 tablespoons reduced-calorie margarine (stick-variety) or 3 tablespoons light butter

- 4 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter

- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

- 1/4 cup sugar

- 1 large egg white

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Cooking spray

Directions:

- Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl, set aside.

- Combine margarine and peanut butter in another mixing bowl, beating 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 1/3 inch-thick slices; place slices 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden around edges, about 8 to10 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

**These cookies are really yummy. They are not a soft cookie though, very crunchy. I think you could most likely cook them less for more chewy cookies. Beware of the dough, it is so delicious, I think Matt ate like 1/4 of the log before I was able to cook them. Definitely a make again for cookie cravings.

I am starting a new 30 Challenge with some of the ladies on the WW 20's board. I am looking forward to it. I am thinking my reward for the end of the challenge will be the OPI or China Glaze Crackle polish, that stuff is cool. Either that or a hair cut. I only need to lose around 4.5 pounds to reach my 10% Goal. I would really like to do that by the end of the challenge. I know it seems like a small goal, but I have been losing slowly, so I want to set myself up for success instead of failure.

As Always,
~Enjoy! Eryn
