AWESOME Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup shortening at room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup creamy peanut butter

Directions
Heat oven to 350°.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.
Cream the butter, shortening, and both sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla and peanut butter.
Slowly add the flour mixture and beat at low speed to mix well.
Shape the dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Press each cookie twice in each direction with a lightly floured fork to make a crosshatch design.
Bake 10-12 minutes.
