Simple Peanut Butter Cookies

Mary Vivian Fritz

Cream together 1/2 c. each of shortening, peanut butter and granulated sugar. Add 1 well beaten egg and 1 tsp. vanilla. Beat with hand. Sift together 1 1/4 c. all purpose flour, 3/4 tsp. soda, and 1/2 tsp. baking powder.

Blend sifted ingredients into creamed mixture. Chill dough well. When ready to bake, form the dough into little balls and put them on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Dip a fork in flour and mark a cross on each cookie. Bake 10 – 12 minutes at 375 degrees F.
