Sugar Cookies.

These cookies really are yummy and easy to make. They are lower in calories than most cookies, which is always a good thing when you are perpetually always trying to lose weight, like me!
Basic Icebox Sugar Cookies
Recipe from Cooking Light
Yield
2 dozen (serving size: 1 cookie)

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons stick margarine, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg white
Cooking spray
Preparation
Combine the first 3 ingredients in a bowl, and set aside. Beat margarine at medium speed of a mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Add vanilla and egg white, and beat well. Add flour mixture, and stir until well-blended. Turn dough out onto wax paper, and shape into a 6-inch log. Wrap log in wax paper, and freeze for 3 hours or until very firm.

Preheat oven to 350°.

Cut log into 24 (1/4-inch) slices, and place slices 1 inch apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool on wire racks.
