Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

1. In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg white; beat until blended. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Shape into an 8-in. roll; wrap in plastic. Freeze for 2 hours or until firm.
2. Unwrap and cut into slices, just over 1/4 in. thick. Place 2 in. apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray; press with a fork to make crisscross pattern. Bake at 350° for 6-8 minutes for chewy cookies or 8-10 minutes for crisp cookies. Cool for 1-2 minutes before removing to wire racks; cool completely.
