Aaron'S Melt-In-Your-Mouth Peanut Butter Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups reduced-calorie peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (or pure vanilla)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg white

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar and egg white until completely blended.
Roll dough into 1\"-1 1/2\" balls and place about 2\" apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Press down on each cookie once or twice (crisscrossed) with the back of a fork.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until pale golden and set around the edges.
Gently transfer to a wire rack to cool. If they are too crumbly to move, let cool for a minute or two on the cookie sheet first.
Makes 2 dozen cookies.
Variations:
Peanut Butter Raisin Roundies.
Add 1 1/2 cups raisins to the peanut butter mixture. Roll balls of dough as directed but flatten them a little with your hand on the cookie sheet. Bake as directed. You will get more cookies from your batch, with 120 calories each, 1.4 g fiber, 4.5 g fat and 30% calories from fat.
