Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Freeze for 2 hours or until firm., 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.
