I believe I mentioned
recently how great peanut butter and chocolate are together. Well, you're getting more of that today. To make these cookies you'll need: 1 1/4 C flour, 3/4 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 C shortening, 1/2 C peanut butter, 1/2 C sugar, 1/2 C brown sugar, and 1 egg. Optionally, you might also want as many Hershey kisses as there are cookies, or, if you don't have any Hershey kisses and don't feel like making a special trip to the grocery store, you might instead use about a 1/2 C each of milk chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and chopped up peanut butter cups (or whatever else happened to be in the pantry at the time).
Preheat your oven to 375. In a medium bowl, mix together your flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and set it aside. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and peanut butter until it's smooth. It'll look rather like a slightly paler bowl of peanut butter.
Now mix in the sugars. When you measure brown sugar, you're supposed to lightly pack it into the measuring cup. As we all know, though, brown sugar is the most tasty of sugars, so feel free to pack it tightly. And then maybe add an extra spoonful for good measure. Mix in the egg. Finally, stir in your flour mixture. If you're using Hershey kisses, skip on ahead to what comes after the next picture. Otherwise, stir in chips/peanut butter cups. I'd like to take this opportunity to mention that you ought not to eat raw cookie dough. That said, this cookie dough is
delicious. Don't
you eat it, though.

Now roll the cookie dough into little balls and put on a cookie sheet (I recommend using parchment paper) and into the oven!
Bake the for about 10-12 minutes, or until they're a lovely golden brown. If you're using Hershey kisses in this recipe, you'll put one on the top of each cookie right after they come out of the oven. Now just put the cookies on a rack and let them cool for a few minutes before you eat them all!

You should write your own cookbook!
