These are chewy cookies (unusual for most peanut butter cookies!), and I was surprised at just how peanut buttery they taste, given they don't contain much peanut butter. Very convenient to keep in your freezer. I did find I had to bake these longer than stated. Add 3 hours refrigeration to the times listed. From Cooking Light (November 1997).
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons stick margarine, softened
2 tablespoons chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg white
cooking spray
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients, and set aside.
2. Beat margarine and peanut butter until light and fluffy.
3. Gradually add sugars, beating until well-blended.
4. Add vanilla and egg white, and beat well.
5. Add flour mixture; stir well.
6. Turn dough out onto wax paper; shape into a 6-inch log.
7. Wrap log in wax paper; freeze 3 hours.
8. Preheat oven to 350F°.
9. Cut log into 24 (1/4-inch) slices, and place slices 1 inch apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
10. Bake at 350° for 8 to 10 minutes.
11. Remove from pan, and cool on wire racks.
