Combine the butter-flavored spread, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat at medium speed until mixture is fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

Bake until bottoms of cookies are lightly browned but centers remain soft, 10 to 12 minutes. UDD notes that: I like this type of cookie more chewy than crisp - so, I pull them from the oven a bit early. Cool cookies on baking sheets on wire racks for 2 minutes. Remove from baking sheets and cool completely on wire racks. The cookies can be covered in an airtight container and stored at room temperature up to 2 days Servings: 22 Nutritional Facts: Calories 98 g, Calories from Fat 26 g, Total Fat 3 g, Saturated Fat 1 g, Cholesterol 10 mg, Sodium 83 mg, Total Carbohydrate 17 g, Dietary Fiber 1 g, Sugars 8 g, Protein 2 g From: http://www.diabeticconnect.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen MMMMM ....
