Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups flour, sift or stir before measuring
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg

Preparation:
Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder; set aside. Cream shortening, peanut butter, and sugars; beat in vanilla and egg. Stir in flour mixture, blending well. Shape mixture into 3/4-inch balls; place on greased baking sheets. Flatten each cookie with the tines of a fork; dip fork in flour periodically to keep it from sticking to the peanut butter cookie dough.Bake peanut butter cookies at 375° for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Comments:
I used between 3/4 to 1 cup of peanut butter to give it a stronger flavor. They turned out really good! The dough was kinda crumbly but the cookies still turned out good. I do suggest putting the dough in the fridge between batches to keep it from getting too warm.
