I know these have margarine, but if you get a very low dairy margarine and think how many cookies 4T. makes will it be okay? They are delicious and low-fat. One of my very best recipes from Cooking Light magazine (an excellent source for low-fat recipes).
*Icebox Cookies*
Plain:
1c. flour
1/4t. baking soda
1/8t. salt
4T. stick margarine, softened
2/3c. sugar
1t. vanilla extract
1 large egg white
Combine dry ingredients in bowl, set aside. In large mixing bowl beat margarine until light and fluffy, gradually add sugar, mix well. Add vanilla and egg white, beat well. Add flour mixture, beat carefully. Turn dough out onto wax paper, shape into 6 inch log. Freeze at least 3 hours. Preheat oven to 350º. Cut log into very thin slices (24) with a very sharp knife, pastry scraper or dental floss. Bake for 10 minutes on sheets with cooking spray. For soft cookies about 9 minutes, for crispy cookies about 11 minutes. Cool on racks. Dough can be left in freezer and slices can be sneaked off raw, as desired. Dough can also be stored in freezer for about a month and baked whenever.
Peanut Butter:
1c. flour
1/4t. baking soda
1/8t. salt
3T. margarine
2T. chunky P.B.
1/2c. packed brown sugar
1/4c. sugar
1t. vanilla
1 egg white
Chocolate:
3/4c. flour
1/4c. cocoa
the rest the same as plain
