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.
