Peanut Butter Cookies

My family in France capital H hates peanut butter. Turns out a lot of French people feel that way. They've been teasing me quite a lot about my enduring love for peanut butter, so the other day, I decided to make them some cookies.

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

1. Mix shortening, peanut butter, sugars, and egg thoroughly. Blend dry ingredients and blend into shortening mixture. Chill dough.

2. Roll dough to 1 1/4 inch balls and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten balls criss-cross style with a fork dipped in flour. Bake 10-12 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven.
