Cookie Jar Peanut Butter Cookies

Recipe Introduction
My favorite peanut butter cookies! Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside--just the way I like them. From Sheila Lukins USA Cookbook, a great book.
List of Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup solid shortening, at room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup creamy peanut butter Recipe
1 Heat oven to 350�.
2 Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.
3 Cream the butter, shortening, and both sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy.
4 Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the peanut butter.
5 Add the flour mixture by the cupful and beat at low speed to mix well.
6 Shape the dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets (I line the sheets with parchment paper) about 2 inches apart.
7 Press each cookie twice in each direction with a lightly floured fork to make the crosshatch design.
8 Bake 10-12 minutes.
9 Do not overbake--they will still be a bit pale, but if you overbake, they won't be chewy on the inside.
